The Soul That Burns Into the SunA Poem by Joanna MaharisThe Soul That Burns Into the Sun
I fold my visions in the pages of my Sanskrit
And let my prince sway me until my mind is a swirl With an array of colors of purple, violet, blue and pink Surrounding my sedated thoughts. Shepherd guide me home to my calling, And let me drink of the mystic waters That flow from your candied eyes. I want to follow you into the weeping shire When I tremble at the sound of your drizzled voice. Send me into the burning brigade, And I will honor you with vows of eternal loyalty To the ways of the whorl. I have not franchised the kisses you invested in me, But have instead allowed my angry tides to multiply This vast field that provides me with nurturing. I praise you in the autumn breeze and sallow all that is holy. For I vested into the humble debris that blankets my body With your essence that fills my cloudy spirit with bliss. You are my violin whose voice glides down into the fainting sky. I wish to offer you the hominy that dwells inside my childish cistern, I wish to get a good look at the soul that burns into the sun, But my eyes betray me and the sands are too meek. © 2010 Joanna MaharisAuthor's Note
