The Journey of Prayer and Devotion
Poetry by Gill Schwartz


THE SOURCE IS A SHIMMERING

A mystery, mysteriously strange
and Other,
Flickering between
Ultimate black empty
and thousand-sun blaze.
All opposites, together, at once.

The mind plays fool,
pretends to cross this torrent on make-believe stones.
Impossible to comprehend That
Which grows our being with Its breath.

Surrounded by garlands of Angels
And legions of Saints,
The Eye of God,
A bottomless sea of fluxing paradox,
Reflects all this into my soul.
