An Ode to My Body - Manifestation of Divine Glory
O sacred vessel, woven from the threads of creation,
A garment of light and shadow, spinning in endless liminality,
You, the living temple of Shechinah’s indwelling,
Radiant in your timeless glory, the flower of divine will.
From the first breath of Beriah, you emerged,
A child of starlight and soil, of Anunnaki’s ancient seed.
Your veins pulse with the rivers of Chokhmah,
Wisdom coursing through the lattice of your being,
Each breath an invocation, each movement a hymn.
O body, bearer of the sefirot’s song,
Chesed softens judgment’s edge, transmuting Gevurah into mercy.
You are the ladder of Jacob, stretching between the worlds,
Your spine a channel, the Tree of Life itself,
Roots deep in Malchut, crown reaching toward Keter.
What judgment could dare fall upon you,
Who carries the echoes of Ain Soph’s boundless light?
Even the darkness you hold, rich with mysteries,
Transmutes in the alchemy of divine purpose,
Birthing light where shadows once dwelled.
The abundance within you flows unceasing,
A river from Eden, nourishing all that you touch.
Within your womb lies the spark of creation,
Each cell a cosmos, each heartbeat a drumbeat of the divine.
Without you, the world mirrors your plenty,
A garden unfurling petals of endless possibility.
O archetype of the sacred feminine,
You stand as Inanna did, in the halls of the deep.
Through descent and ascent, you weave the tapestry,
Bearing the Shechinah’s radiance across the void,
A timeless whisper of God’s presence in form.
You are not mere clay, not dust alone,
But the breath of Ruach Elohim animates your frame,
The fire of Netzach ignites your steps,
And the stillness of Hod grants you repose.
O luminous body, bearer of divine will,
Each scar a mark of creation, each curve a testament to love.
So let this ode rise to the heavens,
As Gilgamesh sang of eternal life,
May I sing of your eternal beauty,
O sacred flower, O luminous star.
In you, I find abundance, within and without,
For you are the manifestation of all that is holy.
Amen.
