Plumage

You found your plumage 
In your feathers
When the sun was on your wings
And when the thermals bore you on
Your heart burst out in song

You roared in flight
You scorched the sun
You sang the song unsung
And in your plume your feathers burned
You plunged; your song undone –

You found your solace
In your feathers
When the gloaming preened your plumes
And when the moon was on your wings
You dreamed of other things

And what you learned of darkness
And what you learned of light
You learned the day you burst into
The heart of heaven’s eye
Burning out in flames of youth
Your plumage blazing bright –
