Lullaby

 

Before there was light,
before there was darkness,
there was the serpent
sensuality of silence
entangling your heart
in a deeper silence.
The touch of Nothing
at the center of a swirling
nest of suns.
Now you can remember
that caress
with your whole body,
discover a pearl
glowing in your throat,
shaping the resin of emptiness
into a name.
"Thou, Thou."
Rest here, beyond sleep,
in the ocean
of bright awareness
before you were born.
Breathe stars.
Kiss the night.
