Full and Final Advent

The turning of the years and of our lives

Continues as the flow of birth and death,

Love seeks its home in the heart's small openings,

The soul's divine compact the human drives

To seek fulfilment with each aspiring breath

Beyond mind's fanciful imaginings.

Orion, grand protector of the skies

Guards this metal miracle of flight

That speeds towards my spirit's secret home.

Let there be nought in me that still denies

The full and final advent of the light.

Soaring through the solar night I come.
