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.
