Liberation!                                                                              

I remember long ago presiding

in lonely splendor in the underworld,

proud of walls and throne and vengeance--

never again!

I learned to dream.

I learned to dance! 

I became Vision!

I learned to travel,

breathing phosphorescent astral light!

I learned to be what I am not:

almost

to touch the fleeting sense

of body, now and love.

I learned to play

as earth air fire and water

flashing veins of diamond,

flashing potent lightning

swirling leaping sparkling

possibility, mystery, glinting

between the warp and woof

of the Real.

Surely I have tickled you!

My bony finger pokes you!

Surely you remember Me!

Boredom is the dust

under My dancing feet!
