ON GLORIOUS WINGS

ON GLORIOUS WINGS

On glorious wings

Feathers of gold

I will rise

I will glide on branches

Spread like covers

Omnicoloured kites

I crane my neck

Spread my arms

Smile into your morning

Beam my eyes into your autumn

Your brilliant aurora

Your maroon leaves

I dive on fins

Into your crest

Ride your waves

Hold you to my gilded chest

Our crimson mouths

Grazing forever, eternally
