Illumine My Ithaca -by Munayem Mayenin

We are luminous vulnerable creatures

Light-sands absorb our weights

We illuminate as we float light

On the infinite floating garden


Of the universe expanding

Perpetually through the space

Only I wish we had the sight

To see this big scale of things


Illumine my Ithaca! Illumine!

And let me take in the lumina!

And I shall make my maiden music

For a people who are all illumanate


We are all luminous vulnerable creatures

Illuminating things, nothing and space

Illumine my Ithaca! Illumine!

Let me walk towards you like lights


Let me learn the grammar of lights

And teach myself how to illumine

The very souls next to me by touching

And sing the melody so they can illumine


Me to ensure infinite darkness digress

Itself to finite infiniteness of our

luminous spell


Illumine my Ithaca! Illumine!

Let me walk towards you like lights
