Sphere of Ages
Far away the world
I hear distant birds
call my name
beyond horizons broad
that stretch
from sea to sea
and shore to shore
in waves....
on cosmic staves
revealing distant days
from ages near
the fish's hook
and way behind
the shepherd's crook.
I stand aloft
and fall and slip
yet firm and strong
the lion's grip
that holds me high
to rise above the sand
and quit the bonds
before I land
in void and empty sphere
that rolls
year to year.
Far away the world
I see a blazing star
and all that waits afar
behind the clouded veils....
once lifted high
descend as trails
that lead and guide
the endless quest
that carries pilgrims
mountains high
and makes the lantern burn
its timeless flame
to yet return.
