The Shekinah
shimmers over the waters
like the sequinned hipcloth of
a woman dancing: O holy one!
wise one! veil diaphanous
over the deep!
She delivers me out of the darkest night.
Her ancient fires render me whole.
Now the wild wild rocks praise her name.
The ravishing winds sing her beauty.
Old oceans thunder the mystery
of her love.
Sunshine Coast, August 1999
