Bird Of Light
A GIANT bird of
Light
From innity
Looks on the slumbering
Earth silently.
Its endless vigil
sees
The luminous brood
Of the ephemeral stars
Blown out and renewed,
And earths white
memory
Like a circling re
Behind the shadows of life
That suffer and aspire.
Ever it pours from
its heart
A wine of the sun,
Pressed from Gods luminous vines
Till the glooms are done.
Its deathless
moments bring
An Elysian sleep,
Woven of the secrecies
Of His timeless Deep.
Its soul is a pearl
of Light
In the hush of the sky,
An eternal wonder-Vigils
Mystery!
