Logos

I taste the air
around my lungs,
reaching for divinity


a lone sparrow
that carries 
a sacred missive,


in a perfect language


words that spoken together
stir hearts as one,
bringing all
to a place of knowledge
immovable 
but traveling fathoms,
only ever touching
on the profound
never


(too much too soon)


Augurs will pronounce 
peace to multitudes,
as in the opened wings
of a dove, 
the first scribe of truth 
lets one feather fall


the first contact
in the language
of the birds
was pure silence 
that marked the depths


trilling a passage
to peace
