Unfolding Wings

Lamp lit weavings undone in love’s bright gaze

Jade green comings that can never fade

All outpouring things from soaring lights

Liquid things from lifted heights

And mystery’s puzzled lines from fallen paper leaves

All flowing through my mind’s own outstretched wings

Oh for things which run as deer yet dance as clowns

Their yearning part’s fulfilled as the twig’s let go 

That one which went so far and back again

Till it was lost of every dulling outer outside thing  

And with beauty’s lifted feet came in, in dancing flight

To ply the waved waters through my own unfolding wings

When will I turn to him and bravely leave my holds

And let my captured knowings go, to know more

That first one, oh, it took me far enough

Still, to stay bound to that makes no sense in clouding

Release each twig: watch its returns of joy!

And let my inmost heart go further on in opened wings
