LATE FINDINGS ON THE BOOK OF REVELATION REGARDING THE SEARCH FOR THE WOMAN



LATE FINDINGS ON THE BOOK OF REVELATION
REGARDING THE SEARCH FOR THE WOMAN

I.  A Woman clothed with the Sun ...”
(Revelation 12:1)

                                    To the Sun
Why do you idle without her
at small task of universe-lighting,
burning for pastime blazed hole in the sky?

Tell me, why are you not busy
with hanging in fire-folds around her?
And why she discarded your vesture?
I search for the Mother.  Where is she?

                                                                        She is down on earth, mending the world.


II.  “With the moon beneath her feet ...”

                                    To the Moon
Here is white clue of her standing!
Clear footprints she left on your silvered
surface indented by feet swiftly gone.

Why did she step from the platform
you offered for floor of her treading?
Say, I beseech you, why spurning
by Queen of you?  Where has she gone?

She went down to earth needing mending


III.  “And on her head a crown of twelve stars ...”

                                    To the Stars
How strange discovery halts me
on search for the Queen! – twelve lorn stars
strewn over planets when crown was dropped down

In haste of her going to answer
small piteous cry that made summons
to Queen’s heart, untilted the stars,
left stellar coronal for business
of Mother.  But where?  Tell me where has she gone?

She is down on earth, mending the world.
