Sailing time’s ocean
A universe listening
Life embraces self
The gods laugh at childlike fools
Dazzled by eternity
*
No sacred magic
Celebrates the prisoned heart
Or ghost remembered
When morning awakens night
Broken dark devours joy
*
Dancing with flowers
Day breathes a sky of soft peace
Healing all secrets
And with wild perfumed breezes
Angels melt a marble star
*
