Incarnation of Light
POEM AND PHOTO BY ED NORTHEN
The transcendent one
source of all light
who formed the heavens
created
the galaxies
and nebula
set the boundaries
of Triangulum
and Andromeda
gathers divine light
weaves the particles
into sacred seed
incarnation
the uncontainable
contained
the timeless one
now with beginning
and end
who in sublime glory
inhabits
unseen realms
once unapproachable
now held in a
young mother’s arms
dependent
vulnerable
exposed
