Elysian Fields

Light of light disclosed...open and upended--arch

shone, there you under it...come to pass.

The filaments of earthly wears burn gently away...

there the last of them--upright and out of mind a

steady waking.

Body once upon a time explained away and folded.

First wave of euphoria gusts weightlessness, the

cast of first things rattle their blinding moorings.

Footsteps are kissed away, submit their mountain

of weight to the halls of posterity.

Beauty's freshest presses lay depth and proportion

upon the soul at hand.

As a stream in continuous stride--profundity

endows, carries along the: I of being.

It is when it runs through the Elysian Fields

pause is taken.

Live lights kindle, break their pillared conscription...

as radiance knows no rigidity. 

Light by All definition, giver and taker...everything

we swore was about to happen Has happened--

eternity is too large to recount.

That clutch awaits the body's duration, has storied

its exit timelessly...the Elysian Fields are our

playground.
