A Thelemic Sonnet
-
As I looked up to see the starry sky
and ponder cosmic distances and scale,
the omnipresent symbol caught my eye;
the All and Nought weren't hidden by a veil.
My thoughts turned inward to the deepest me;
I looked right through my soul, down to my spark:
that central hidden thing that needs to be
alive and always burning, never dark.
The two conceptions meld and form a third;
a vicious Will to Love is now aroused.
Strength and silence have been thus incurred
and liberty for all has been espoused.
When each is moving and yet all are still,
I find the courage to perform my Will. -

Thanks
If it isn't obvious, I was thinking of Nuit in the first quatrain, Hadit for the second, and Heru-ra-ha for the third, with an attempt to summarize them all in the final couplet (though the last line is admittedly more Ra-hoor-khuit than Hoor-paar-kraat).
