Dark Velvet Countenance

She calls forth my longing
Her dark, velvet countenance
illumines
         shields
              exalts,
breaks open the expansive me

I pour forth angelic light
in all of breath and all of life
      I am warrior in truth

I am mother, defender, creator, lover
  bursting of joys,
       summoning delights

And yet,
I move beyond all roles
and ideals in which I am cast:

I simply drink the fullness of my soul
     
The ultimate Truth is not just
that She and I are One.                 
   
We Ascend Far Beyond
That.
