Eton Langford Poet Rhyme

Heaven's Song

A cryptic vision wrought with stubborn skill at music’s bidding stands
         Untamed by wingèd thought beneath the sun’s dominion. 
             It moves like summer’s wind, diaphanous and warm,
                     Within the labyrinth of earth and sea,
                      Where birds with golden feathers fly
                       Like sun-kissed gems whose spark
                              Could blind the moon’s 
                                     Weak sight. 
                                      The light
                                    Of afternoons
                         When nature’s creatures hark
                     To heaven’s song makes angels try
              The taste of mortal love. For once, they see
        What pleasures wait to be discovered, though the form
          Of bliss on earth may not disturb their God’s oblivion
Of what he made. At work in this must be some clever, wicked hands.
