TRANSFORMATION
My breath runs in a
subtle rhythmic stream;
It fills my members with
a might divine:
I have drunk the
Infinite like a giant’s wine
Time is my drama or any
pageant dream.
Now are
my illumined cells joy’s flaming scheme
And changed my thrilled
and branching nerves to fine
Channels of rapture opal
and hyaline
For
the influx of Unknown and the Supreme.
I am no more a vassal of
the flesh,
A slave to Nature and
her leaden rule;
I am caught no more in
the senses’ narrow mesh.
My soul unhorizoned widens to measureless sight,
My body is God’s happy
living tool,
My
spirit a vast sun of deathless light.
