Rumbling imperishable
out of and into existence,
carrying the binding energy
and the radiant energy,
heavy waves massing
thunder down
onto the black isthmus
of space releasing
the Fires of Origin
buried deep in dark cobalt,-
casting forth unnumbered
suns to blaze upon the void.
Arching undiminished through
and returning into base matter,
the Word Imperishable rings out
sharply in the fountainhead.
Engine of Universal Mind
(vesting the causal order)
fashions divine ciphers
establishing the design
of every elemental form,
as evident in pin-wheeling galaxies
and in the crescent lens
of the juniper seed.
From outflowing boundaries
the Destroyer passes back
into the thorium cleft,
swiftly returning
to the veritable source
bearing the keys to the Abyss;
solemn of aspect,
gazing outward through
the thermal cascade;
one eye flashing Dawn,
while the other dims with Dusk,
stands in the rush of mysteries,
witness to the opening
of the Lotus.
