Glastonbury, by Michael Mathias
Ierlandis: The Journey of Aeneas: Poems (Vision from the Bridge of Fire), by Michael Mathias

Behold the circular energy,
Widening wisdoms like whirlpools of the Infinite.
One cannot say
Where the Energy of the Mother is going.

It neither ascends nor descends.
It neither spins nor remains fixed.
The Tree of the Tao,
Its Roots nourish the Feminine.
The topmost branches,
Dance in the blazing thunder of the Yang.

Who can say
Where the Tree of the Tao ends
Does it have a beginning in the roots of our Being?

Does it plant seeds in the bloodstreams of our Soul,
Generating and blossoming
Giving birth to the Golden Child.
