Sun Blossoms

Brief Visions

BRIEF are the hours that come and swiftly pass
Like flickers on the face of destiny;
No memories written on its quiet glass
Leave their faint trace of bright felicity.

Silvery flares washing the lone wide shore
Remind of strange smiles from a shadowy height
The soul's reflections drawing more and more
Close to an earth eclipsed by agelong night.

Kaleidoscopic figures cross the foam
Of Natures unrelieved blind ocean swoon
And bring a white glimpse of moon-fringed gloam
And haloed wings throbbing to an aureoled tune,

A breath and murmur of the Vast through time
On the deep slumber of the mute Sublime.
