photographic negative #3

stars spun around my night
and indeed it proved to be mine
because it spoke my name
as it was given to me by a king.

chaotic and holy
as life in itself
the stars sung no particular tune at all
and powerfully as a contraction of labour
they lunged toward me; penetrated my skin
the stars divine, they became so alive in me
power concieved immaculate as conception
and the caress within of the light pulsating
 and the stars passed through me
as I was thrown into the depths of space and time
my life a comet's tail, a trail behind me
nothing any longer afflicts me
thrown into the depths of space and time
I see & know all that has ever been
 know & see what always will be
borne within this gift given unto me
I know that I forever will be
In the sky and stars I am so infinite
 so aware, ecstatic, and yes, divine...
I was there, I was everywhere
Inside of love, surrounding the universe
