Red, orange, streaming on to melon

A sweet sigh in the sky 

Afternoon shadows lengthen

The Iron Gate clangs it seems to echo

Chords to my heart strengthen

Grit and strength of the bold metal

Beneath my hands

Limp and given to the earth apprised

Welcoming another birth to tell

Singing wings hover it is the hour

We find the souls nectar embraced

In the sphere of the eternal flower

A journey not of miles; a migration

An evolution spiritual, undivided

Romancing the will in the wind

Ivory petals beckon lighten

Sweet dew from this sinew

Gleaming droplets traced

One in all fervently Embraced

Beyond the world,

the artificial Stain  Welcomes

The soul traveler liquid pools

Migrating ripples squire velvet

Nuances swirling beyond each

Plane a slow motion rain

Brief the vision a quest to

Return again linger a welcome

Guest yet, another test

Shedding each form again

To be born Sounds of feathers in the air

Return to soon, lifted with care

We journey in nectars complete

Once again the iron gate beneath

My hands clangs,as the wind chimes

Afternoon shadows still in tune

How I long to return fervent

To prepare to another journey

To this world immune
