Thirsting to touch the Spirit of Ages Rediscover that which I did misplace A sparrow that fell out of time and space This gilded door, travelers courageous Glorious songs, birds escaping cages How strange to meet your mind and not your face Deep, yet anonymous touch of this “place” Open, free hearts pour out on these pages Welcoming home this orphan of my mind Setting free the songbird from key and lock Lava released from under miles of rock Tight soul knots within begin to unwind Old jail, black chains, they finally unbind No longer to drink the spirit’s hemlock 4/8/16 Set down the rocks that have burdened me so See them transmuting as if by magic Into verse sublime, from burden tragic This purgation, alchemy, afterglow On warm, lofting currents, mingling souls know Of realms uncharted from depths pelagic Vibrant celestial breeze, energetic Key to the gilded door, your hearts bestow Awaken to the world of light, colors To touch the transcendent truth beyond time Rhythm of being, in image and rhyme Once, heart’s eyes had been buried in squalor Now kaleidoscopic multicolor To giddy, broad vistas, this soul’s new climb 4/9/16 abbaabbacddccd (x2)
