COMMUNION: 6. ADSUM, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Song of the sylphin breezes
Last Line: And I in the world.
Subject(s): Dreams; Light; Nightmares


Song of the Sylphin breezes
Caressing the green of the world --
Lucid voices in laughter
Leaping where waters are swirled --

Deep in the tides of a drama
Pulsing with flux and with flow,
Clad with the earth and the ether,
I am, that is all that I know.

Fed with pain and with laughter,
Submerged in a dream-lit night,
Chained with flesh and its sorrows,
Yet within I am light.

The spark is imprisoned in matrix,
The corn in the kernel furled,
The moth in the chrysalis' womb, --
And I in the world.
