She opened her eyes
today and the sun rose in them.
No difference, you see,
between the dawning and her – the gentle glide of the sun around
the curve of the planet, the same as the drawing back of her eyelids
from her gaze.
The seer and the seen.
Draped about her, a
dragon; the denizens of this place of limitless sky, sea and
clear-light.
Awoken, the girl is
light merging with light.
The Great Crystal Tree
had awoken her – stretched out its light to touch her.
Its angels swooped, not
in time with the girl, but dashing about the great tree, flying on
wings of light around its branches hung with stars and planets.
The girl had slept,
upon the cliff, above the ocean sharing its horizon with the clear
blue sky -- but no longer.
The dawn has broken.
She is awoken.
