Poem 6.

soft golden feathers pierced the gloom

soft golden feathers pierced the gloom

and life anew from gentle death said rise and grow and fly

the flames of blackened night are past

and promised day has blazing sun and shining light

lone bird of sweet renascent song, what gods divine command your spirit flight

are trust and love your beaconed paths

or destined death the only course you seek

and frenzied life the journey blind that makes you fear its end

resplendent keeper of incarnate fire

are you not the hope of immortal quest and never ending prayer

will you ever know the mortal fate of rust, decay and dust

when life turns back to death and then returns to life anew

does shapeless soul emerge from host to host

and endless time is always now

and joyous day is always here

soft golden wings that pierce the shroud of cosmic night

whisper your unwritten song on winds that warm with constant grace

unveil the mystery of your dream sleep flight

through the quiet softness of eternity
