On The Profundity of Meteors

1833 Meteor Shower, wood engraving by Adolf Vollmy c1888

You have pierced my soul
With the voices of angels
And the drone of ancient chants

I cannot hide from your beauty
It shatters and lays bare my heart

 

I have no protection from the onslaught
Of the battering ram against my broken bones
My body quivers and dies

I rejoice in the conquering

The Light of Light
The Sound of Sound
Emanates within and without

I am no more

LiNdA
