Glorieux

 

 

 

from the thronewomb

 

here near the sepulchre

I am, close (again)

as I can, as I was when He

 

was enwombed; my cheek

 

against the cold stone’s pressed (as

   once He nursed and

   nuzzled my warm breast) but I’m

 

oppressed

 

by the silence within

wherein His Body hath so lately lain

 

or thus they say;

 

His birth-

day date, I recall, three days hence

 

oh, where is the Life now

 

 

:  above, yet

   or below

before here, again, at last

when He’ll Glorious appear in

His Trinitarian regalia

to give to us the Word, once more

 

at the Re-Annunciation

 

of His forever birthplace

:  in the Temple restored for

   the Holy Spirit . . . ‘tis

 

   any and

   all of our human hearts.

 

 

 

 

 

their nightLight

 

is He.  Now

that He’s been elevated

:  like Father

   like Son.

 

And I, ponder

 

in My Heart of hearts

  (where

   Simeon hath performed his

   sleight-of-hand sword

   tricks) restored

 

by My Son

 

to His Right

-full Domain of Being, from thence

 

 

the quick and the dead

 

shall all

see His return

in the samewise cloud

to the place I have prepared for Him

 

in the throneroom of My Heart

 

where He sits, reigns forevermore,

and is,

 

that also they may be.

 

 

 

 

after He'd gone

 

His Presence, still

It hath comforteth me

 

none the less

 

Fear not, for (at

   the Feast of Pentecost)

ingathered

 

the Tongues of heart fire Descend

licking at

the beholders, hungering

for a taste of Heaven in

His FirstFruits

 

the Wafer and the Wine

 

 

longing to dine

at the Marriage Supper

of the Lamb, served

at last, slaked by the Blood

 

eager for the Flesh, yet

 

quenched only

by the Spirit

 

sprinkled from the hyssop, dipped

in the Crystal Fountain,

Whose

deep draughts from

unloose their tongues

 

as if drunk on New Wine.

 

with what Rapture

 

I and My Son

were One, in Heaven

 

again

 

I yielded (just like

   Falling Asleep) to

the letting

and be

-came body and soul

once more (leaving, no doubt,

 

   Thomas longing

   to touch too My Son’s

 

   Mother . . . ) as if

 

on the wings of

eagles I mounted from whence

I’d run the Good Race

and not been weary, trans

 

 

-ported and trans

-figured

even, . . . -literated (in

   the manner and the style

   and [full] grace of

   Enoch & Elijah) thus

 

not so much merely translated

 

in Our meeting in the air,

in the

twinkling of an Aye:  Radiant

   for

   all is calm, all is bright

 

   in the starry, starry night

 

 

 

 

 

  

in the Empyrean

 

twelve stars coronal surround

the Skypace

and I

 

am filled again

with the embracing Presence

 

above, below, within

 

my soul proclaims

to the world, what

:  hath not been conformed

 

   but am transformed

   by my renewed mind and

   hath proven

 

   what is that good

 

   perfect, acceptable, let-

   able to

 

   not His will be done

   but His.

 

now no mere lowly

hand-made of the Lord,

Who is with me ‘tis

 

no secret now my

sacred coronary nature

doth magnify

 

The Enthroned:  Magnitudinous

 

reigneth,

blessed in golden spun raiment

embroidered immaculate

:       in fine linen, clean, and White

         ever Pure

 

         Eternal.
