The Second Dewlight Melody

[Wagner]

The Second Dewlight Melody
------------------------------------
Arise, o star, into the sky
And wipe all sorrow from your eye,
Arise, o star, into the heavens with might
And shine on all by your own holy light.

Yes awake, o star, from the cloudy dream
Of unreal action, 'tis a sullen gleam
That plays its panoply of impressions upon the silent screen
Of consciousness pure, unbroken and keen.

Wait not til your season is crippled and dim,
Until the road to tomorrow is forever gone,
But conjure your puissance today into vim
To arouse the unfolding of the penetrating dawn...

For this dawn is intense, it is clear, it is you
Without condition, immense, released;
It is you as you've known, though in every way new
Because it is you when false limits are ceased.

So arise, o star, from the mire of the mind
To the empyrean rose and the tav intertwined,
Yes arise, o star, out of the maul of the tomb
Of the Ego awash in its own Pyrrhic gloom,
That the rivers of perception for all time be replaced
By the ocean of love;
Make haste! Make haste!

Come to, beautiful star, this is your hour
To push beyond confines through your own starry power.
Arise, o star, into the sky--
Be as you are.
Fly high! Fly high!

I love how deep your poem flows, Wagner. One can hear the notes of ageless beauty in your call.
