First Line: The swirling sphere has opened
Last Line: You have perceived the leaves of the flame.
First Line: The swirling sphere has opened
Last Line: You have perceived the leaves of the flame.
The swirling sphere has opened
and you are caught up to the skies,
You are englobed in my sapphire.
Io! Io!
You have perceived the blades of the flame
The flutter of sharp-edged sandals.
The folding and lapping brightness
Has held in the air before you.
You have perceived the leaves of the flame.
