Evening Star

My love, your pain guided me back to myself,

I leaned into your delicate worldly promise

Tipping the scales away from my source

Floundering among my entangled soul, divorced.

You were my Hesperus, guiding me through the night,

I was so desperate, to find you and take flight

Away from these phantasmic temptations

Into a new unified foundation.

You connect me to the other,

You cherish me like a mother,

Balancing this antinomy

Unearthing the light within me.

You exalt in the boundless ocean of feeling,

A transcendent octave beyond all desire

Steer this vessel through the rugged tides of healing,

Release me through this transitionary fire.
