Sun Blossoms

Marvel-Swan

BEYOND Dawns precipice a marvel-swan,
Wings in infinity spread, gazes on earth:
Mysteries awake from deep oblivion
Like stars that ,shine on the edge of a new birth.

New rhythms are cast in shape and voices high
Move in tranquillities of fire; the slow
Murmurs of the Winds echoing symphony
Merge in the cadenced universal ow.

The dark incidents of necessary pain
Falling like unescapable blows of fate
Leave but a trace of an ephemeral stain
On the closed bar of the heart's diamond gate.

Now a flame-vision breaks upon the path
That led through myriad curves and dents of space;
After the deluge comes its aftermath:
A revelation of the apocalypt-face.
