Guileless Life
A lofty thought beholds itself within the luscious mirror
Created from the limpid tears which fell from high above
And washed away the sad remembrance sown by dying error.
A sparkling rainbow reigns in hues of red and blue and mauve.
The sleeping soul of immortality awakes anew
To charm the world in voiceless tones of growing light and song,
For both the slaves and masters of the sky, at last, renew
Their pledge of freedom which had laid asleep for far too long.
The chains of mortal shape are broken with the might of kings
Before the burning altar kept by angels’ legions spread
Above the clouds, above the blinding sun, with tireless wings.
The mass of guileless life is now with nectar duly fed.
A blinding light has kindled all the universe, and soon
The hungry passions of unfettered love will burst aloud
Where nothing but the grip of joy enshrouds the rising moon
On waves of guiltless wind, beneath each white and sparkling cloud.
The sun is mild, the planets lure the stars to spread their shine
Upon the clear and softly-flowing amber of their clouds,
While younger Earths emerge anew—as in their glowing prime—
And stronger men rise forth among the bright and youthful crowds.
