Awoken


With birds crossing flight at heights above 
Matching thought to wings
And hearts to feathers 
A valiant brow faces breadth-less horizon  

The colour of the sky hides not the distance to the stars 
As he thinks on places, worlds and souls

From slumber he had awoken 
To see again such sight in word and magic 
As sand from somewhere reminded him of waves
In need to roll and move to white crest fall 

The life in swells and motion 
Gives much to shape the earths rimmed lines 

A soft wind touches him within
As his lips lift in corners of their length 
Words fall from the golden silk bag of his muse 
As she welcomes him home
