5 Ik
White Overtone Wind
Psyche’s Song*
I lit the Lamp of Insight
I saw the God in you
A Spark---a sparkling Star
Beneath your hooded Eye---
In Fear you spread your Wings
To fly---
Now I wonder, and I wander
In Anguish and Despair---
Each Breath a mournful Cry---
Are you gone forever?
Will you let me die?
Or will you save me, Love
From my riven Soul
And the existential Lie?
*Eros, the god of love, deserts Psyche, his lover when she looks upon him in the night. She has been forbidden to do so. Therefore, he flies back to his mother, Aphrodite, goddess of love. Psyche and Eros symbolize the inner feminine and masculine aspects of soul and consciousness which must be reconciled before psychological wholeness is achieved.
