David Hyatt-Bickle Poet Rhyme

Norea in the Garden of Birds

“Father of All, Hoopoe of the Shining Light 
Voice of Truth, singing above pits of night 
Light singing in heaven’s tree above the height 
Barbelo in the heights unthinkable 
Nous incorruptible, Word untouchable 
Forefather whose voice is unspeakable 
Father whose feathers are impenetrable” 

Norea the phoenix cried with tears in eyes 
Heaven’s birds heard and flew her to the skies 
To the eternal garden of endless size 
Under the singing doves of holy glass 
That her head may rest in Epinoia’s grass 
Resting under the wings of Adamas 
To attain her first mind through Christ’s wings of brass 

So, in this place, she breathes forth offspring herself 
She has been gifted the Logos itself 
She sings with the soul of Adamas himself 
In unity with the undying birds  
Singing immediately with life-filled words
With the eagle of Christ, the guide of herds 
Resting in the light which she knew before words 

Dwelling through the mind of mankind’s forefather 
That Invisible Simurgh, the founder 
She gives praise to the hoopoe bird, her father 
She rests in the Gardens of rest and light 
There are days where she beholds the Garden’s might 
Her soul will be ever filled to the height 
For she has the four doves, whose glass wings shine bright 

The stained glass doves intercede for her again 
To Adamas, in his heavenly den 
That Hoopoe who rests in all the race of men
Housing Norea’s joy in his feathers 
Who sings about the one name without measures 
“All-Father, Hoopoe of holy pleasures 
Voice of Truth, singing beyond earthly treasures”
