Red Resonant Dragon
From the Dragon’s Jaw –
And a vast Void
Are we borne--
From great Cauldrons of Light
And Sound
Out of the Vacuum
Are we carried
Into a Cosmos –
Into a Galaxy
Stepped down - transduced
Transformed, informed
Conformed, reformed, induced
By an invisible Cord
Are we attached –
The Zuvuya connects
Our Solar Plexus Nexus
To the Origin of Soul
Again we land embodied
On the Earth.
