If stays, but a moment

Life’s fateful eye,

Then the blandest of minutes,

between great minds dies!

 

Ascend, thoughts must,

as the dusk eats dawn,

That, piercing, the owl

Swoops down, so we fawn:

 

Before a path, quiet, our love so laid,

such Elysian letters, a dove so spells,

When out goes truth, not today as frayed,

As minds dive deep, in God’s deep wells!

 

Ever keep the fire,

And never sway quickly,

That the heart breathes free,

And the soul runs swiftly…

 

…to the World Mountain’s peak,

where tremors, cosmic, leap,

that two brazen souls meet,

And now the whole earth 

 

begs for sleep.
