Inspiration

By Richard Mather

Embosomed in stillful bliss no longer,

the Infinite Spirit moves, and by degrees

makes finite the substances of creation:

the first finiting of infinity, circulospiral.

Movement 

gives rise to gases, rocks, minerals,

water, iron, brass, salt, sulphur, mercury,

and an atmosphere encircles the primitive sun:

a dull brightness like an enclouded

rainbow on a rainy day:

this was the appearance 

of the luminescence round about.
