Temenos ~ The Wall of the Garden Sanctuary
~ ~~~~ ~
There is a secret language of Gypsies
those who know to travel at night
hidden within darkness
they journey by their given light
~
And this is how it must be
for those who walk between the worlds
are not contained by the rules of man
and only answer to their King
it is the keeping of a promise
the honoring of a vow
~
We are not bound by the stones
 nor separated by walls
meant to distance
mankind from angels
or darkness from light
~
There is an alchemy of compassion
for the sorrows of this world
as we leave traces along our path
to guide each wayfarer home
~
To climb the walls of the sanctuary
we must lift and be free
in our God seeking reach
and even when we stumble
in imperfect flight
we know that what we seek
is also seeking us
~
A temenos lives within each of us
our imprinted light is calling
always
for our return.

"Les Miroirs de Lumiere ~ The Mirrors of Light"

~ ~~~~ ~
~~~~
~~
~

~
The mirrors of light
are abundant and unified
and how else can it be

Our longing is to return
always...
to hold close and embrace
the resonant beauty
and forgive 
the darkness that has betrayed us

The mesomeric arc 
of mercy
is threaded
through this tapestry of light
and how else can it be

As the Moon gently breathes
into the hours of night
the majestic light of our Sun

We are all given
toward this reach,
even in darkness 
and uncertainty~
 Light spills guidance
unveiling within us
the hidden pathways
that bring us home

Shams, the Sun of Tabriz
generously illumined with light
kindled fire that has echoed
within the hearts of poets 
the minds of wise men
and the lovers of truth
throughout time
~we thank you
