A SACRED THING
Centuries ago Porphyrus wrote:
‘A threshold is a sacred thing.’
And I think: the sacredness of the threshold
is the fire of imagination
where a creator is consumed
and surrenders self
to emerge again
reborn.
Each act of creation
is akin to finding courage
to enter Hades
and to find your way
home again
resurrected, alive
bearing the light of
the lantern-bearer.
