My Soul's Progress

By Colette

It is burned and consumed
This darkened garment
That has obscured me.
Under it, the Jewel,
The pearl of all Beauty.

The flame of desire
Has destroyed my body
The flame of total Faith
Is embracing the Soul...
When becoming clear Light
It returns to the Light...

Transforming transfiguration!
I feel the same and quite other...
Enlarged and like a dot.
Near a disappearance
Into an explosion of this Highest Light
That can not have a name
Other than Truth
