Secret Agent of Radiance

IN THE HOLY CRYSTAL CITY OF POWER
NEAR THE GATES OF HEAVEN
ALL HEAVEN AND EARTH
CAME TOGETHER AN INSTANT
TO WITNESS THE BIRTH UNSPECTACULAR
OF THE DARK POET CHILD
ON A CELEBRATED PAGAN HOLlDAY IN 1969

THEY WOULD ABANDON HIM THERE TO HIS WITS BY FATE
BY HIS OWN REQUEST
A SECRET AGENT OF RADIANCE
IN THE DARK WORLD
OF TIME

TO TEACH HIMSELF (TO HIS SCRUTINIZING DELIGHT)
AND THE WORLD
WITH MIRACLES OF CREATION

THE LESSONS OF LOVE AND LIGHT
WHICH MOST CHOOSE TO DENY AND FAIL
BUT LESSONS WHICH LOVE AND THE LORD OF THE LIGHT
PATIENTLY EXPECT

YOU AND ME AND THE SUM OF ALL CREATION

TO ACCEPT
AS TRUE
AND

NOT AN ILLUSION.
