The Beloved Arises

These cavalier thoughts
are the tincture imposed
strictly as an overbearing father

with a beautiful daughter,
fair and pure
as any damsel
to be protected,

the quill of her body
expressing itself
in words of a defiant child.

But the Spirit is God's centrifuge,
reducing the mind to chanting
until the Beloved arises

and takes the day by the hand
like an ordinary rosy sunrise.
