O Daughter

With discerning eyes,

with heavenly perception,

I should be free to peer

into the fortified caverns

of your wide, supernal eyes,

in whose vast, subterranean depths,

I find, glinting

in the gems of the abyss,

the Light of greater Skies

made known

through reflection,

through you, O daughter of the Kingdom,

esoteric and of flame, but bright and bade.
