Blackie, Plotinus, and a Lady

“Deep caves and bottomless lakes”

Sharon Blackie

As a woman, now as I be,

There is a cave for me,

Where my daena be

Saved by me, to hold

That thought inside

Not trapped,  nor alone

Nor god,

Searching, reaching

Beyond

Emanations, springs of meaning, there, where daenas heart lies, my soul longing thru my eyes

In mirrors of love

Like a deep sea speaking

About gossip and myth and legend

Crashing, back and forth,

Telling a tale

Of surpassing

Starlight within a cave

It’s music

Rhythmically lapping

At her eyes, starlight,

Her wave of loving

For love of another lady:

Who’s who, then?

Surpassing
