Soul Searching

Sip slow a breath With each rhymed depth As hymn of light Grows through one night-- Then let the hush Meet heart its gush As a world wakes On crest of lakes To kiss life’s flame This joy I claim: And hazed thoughts spill From a mind’s grill When time brings calm Like froth dewed balm… How pure air’s drift A dance, not swift In twirls, how rare The hours mild flare Which lays on blooms On fields of plumes: Till young stars rise Each beam glints eyes, Closed by dark ink In mist’s lull blink While soul finds peace Through life at ease: Oh roots of grace Lift up vast place Where ride of wings Thrills love that sings; As god up high Speaks to me nigh!
