    About this ebook

    'Testament' is an anthology of spiritual poetry by Pam Crane. Many are strongly Christian in their theme, but by no means all, as her experience has embraced many other dimensions including spiritualism, reincarnation and direct inspiration. Her whole spiritual life is here, from an early intuition of the universality of God and appreciation of other beliefs, to the Christian conviction that in 1993 brought her to ordination as a Deacon in the Liberal Catholic Church. For over twenty years she had been an astrologer, and still researches and teaches in this field; unusually (but not uniquely) she has combined her astrological skill and philosophy with her Christian life, informing much of her writing. There is a very broad spectrum of spiritual experience in this collection which may appeal to readers of many faiths or those as yet uncommitted but willing to be inspired.

    Pam Crane

    Pam Crane has been a poet since she was seven years old; it was only when she joined her local Writers' Club that she found she could also write short stories. She has also been a Christian astrologer for most of her life, is well known in that community, and is the author of two books plus many articles in the Astrological Association Journal (for which she compiles the regular Cryptic Crossword.) You can find her website at http://revpamcrane.weebly.com.

      They Who Kiss Mind

      to whom I do belong

      to My

      to My Self alone

      My is a wide net cast

      between time

      hither and past

      Self a sense of eye

      watching

      in privacy

      the blue nerve seen

      through wax

      is ice-keen

      of uncommon kind

      are they

      who kiss mind

      risk discovery in

      having

      Angels’ skin

      the people of Light

      cohere

      behind my sight

      we are the white-gold

      aëreën

      We are very old

      <><><>Forward to Index<><><>

      The Return

      In the holy of holies

      in thick dark

      smelling of birds and stone

      my blind hand’s

      pilgrimage

      unveils

      the symbol of life

      I have come back

      my trails of

      four thousand years

      and all their images

      twist to a single

      focus, spin

      to one fine brilliant vibrant

      point

      this Egypt

      this temple

      this soft dancing-ground

      of yellow dogs

      echoing sparrows

      and buried shame

      I have come back

      in shadows

      my long strange face

      shockingly

      beholds me

      The sun and my son

      haunt me

      in the reed baskets

      jostling crushed notes, cats

      cheap azure scarabs

      ubiquitous images of my peerless wife

      where is my city

      flat hot dust a rubble of stones

      between the holy cliff

      and sun-caught sails

      trekkers

      stare from donkey-back at the gates

      of death that swallowed me

      my hymns

      my sweet children

      flying and creeping creatures

      music

      all I knew

      pilgrims cluster

      in temples, in musty tombs

      tracing my broken features in the torchlight

      following with their finger-tips

      fine rays

      slim hands of the sun

      I have come back

      like the dog to its vomit

      I cannot undo

      naivety
