The red-winged blackbird, sumptuous and bold Flits from swaying rush to sun-struck lea, An unpretentious resident of old His songs of ancient years come back to me
As does the piercing cry of hawk and kite A marriage made of timeless memory, The swift and silent owls of the night, The mourning dove upon its homing tree.
I have seen sunflowers turn towards the light In fields of vastness, mile on endless mile And saw the sand cranes in their pale pink flight Light up the sky before the sun could smile.
The sinewed panthers let me watch their play, A swan befriended me, I stroked her breast Earth's flowers blossom towards a brighter day, I am with this divinity obsessed.
When love shall spread its wings embracing all Transcending littleness we will release The heart from ego's overwhelming thrall, On waves of joy and gratitude find peace.
