Ages past and ages new are swirling in my mind.
Devils' broth and angels' brew are stirred…and then combined.
From that I spring and stand aloft the precipice~ balanced on a dime!

On one side hovers lightning, on one side shines the sun.
'Twixt them both I dance and whirl, my heart and soul undone.
Nothing hidden, all is bared: which way shall fall the dice?

"Neither nor!" I shout
then soar to fuller heights where coolness reigns
and the Goddess deigns to hold me.

Open arms enfold me: Soft are Her delights!
Her kisses soothe my fevered brow. Our hearts gently beat as one.
All parts of me become one Whole and then!  Her work is done!

I glide through clouds and waterfalls~  my laughter fills the air.
My soul is one great Fullness~ I am neither here nor there.
My wings unfurl their splendor embracing all below.

For I have reaped a Lover's harvest.
And its seeds I now shall sow.
