Figurine

A Contemporary Icon of the Creation of the World

I have been searching for something to say

Something I feel without knowing

That we are universes hidden in clouds

And bright glory shines all around

We are mirrors of the Maker

And Smoke of the eternal flame

It hurtles around the orb in a frame

Crowds flowing around the time

In ebbs and eddies, through song and rhyme

And now I see clearly the vision I felt

Which extends as an image in which I melt

How to know nothing by knowing it all

Shows knowing all is the Other

Which reflects light through the Fall
