Revenant

Under lilac songs all of Heaven was in one little bird

The dream pangs never cease

The song must be heard

My darkness at close of day is incidental.



Following a misted path we seek starry spirits

The wisdom of all eternal creatures

bubbles up from the Venus lit horizon

I will leave my shell on the beach.



I will find a boat I can drift over my days in

The water around me swirling the fathoms of sea foam

Sun spray dappling my oaken hull as I dream.

I feel all of heaven in the smallest thing.
