Someday Light––poem by Dorothy
Someday Light
"Someday light will split you open."
Hafiz
And then who will you be?
Will you remember when you
held the keys
to a secret kingdom
where you were once
ruler and ruled,
and trees rained golden fruit
into your hands,
where the does and the foxes
came to be fed,
and sometimes you were nothing
but light glistening
through magenta clouds
at sunrise,
waves bursting
on the rocks
at midnight?
When you yourself
were like a great chord
sounding through heaven,
and stars formed your crown
and waves of ecstasy were
your body?
