In the mind of God    The dead sleeping lie    And the little cogs though unmoving    Hover over the turning wheel    All life's a farce    The broken bird is draped over the paths    And paths and paths and paths    And those who say this world is not    The bloody gleaming paradise of blood and jewel    Lie    Opal and pearl bloodsocket castings    Ruby jasmine jasper and onyx    Chalcedonthrone and ambergriscrown    Golden green leafwork    Scrolled with the farstars    Pitted with the moonworlds    Mother alldewey    Arrayed with the twinkling lights    The wovengold spungilded blinking godeyes    The spearshafts of heaven    The souldwelling rockhomes    Are...    Dormition and Dominion    Dormition and Dominion    The Mother is dead    The Mother awakens    Dormition    She sleeps    Dominion    He rules    She sleeps and rules    In her starry bodied glory    The Mother sleeps    The Mother loves    Dormition and Dominion    I wait    ...Are the holders of the world and its dreams    I say there is no death    No death    We have lived before and shall live again    And again    We have slept before and shall sleep again    We have danced through the shallow pools    And shall rejoice once again    To those who say there is no hope    I say liars    Liars    Liars you are    Over the starry dancing stars    There is a land    Under the sweatribbed brow    There is a land    And this is the globed world of the Pantocrator    Finally I have understood    I have understood    I have understood    Though when I slip sleeping and silently    From this ribbed room of sighs    You shall not find the history of His personal visit    Sewn into my linings perhaps    Nevertheless I have understood    Where the logician watches god hinge all on a die    Nevertheless I have understood!       That all this is the breathbetween moment    Our eyeslids open and close    Between is the land    Between the time I first was accepted    In between Your brightboned body    Between then and there and the time You wept:    "Goodbye my love goodbye to you"    There there was the land    In the pearls of our heart    There is the immaculate heavenly loveland    In the middle of the forest Acton is slain by his own hounds    In the middle of the forestEustace meets the crisscross Stag    There is the land he has reached paradise    There is no death    There is no death    There as the stag turns and smiled loved    There he was takencaught by the prey    All the flowers are blossoming    And all the world calls to you:    "Dormition" - so you sleep    "Dominion" - so you rule    Dormition - oh You sleep, Mother    Dominion - Father, You rule
