Wings of Fire
When the light within chases the darkness out,
I ride the rays of sulfur,
I emanate from your being
as wings of dreaming thoughts,
breathing in the streaks of infinity.
I fly;
I fly out, out of my self
through and into the infinity before me,
leaving my nothingness behind.
Only then I realize that I had been you
all the while of my ignorance
throughout all the being of my not being.
On those wings of fire
I draw unto you
in the dispersion of your beingness—
manifested thoughts—
that I claim mine.
The thoughts my heart has been denying all along.
Thoughts whose flight away from my nothingness
leave a fading imprint behind—
a cosmic dust speck that I am,
a longing vision
caught in the moment’s glow and glory
knowing not, seeing you fly away to your Self.
# Wings of Fire When the light within routs the dark that housed it, I mount the rays of sulfur, I pour forth from your being as wings of dreaming thought, drawing breath from the streaks of infinity.
I fly. I fly out, past the walls of self, through and into the infinity that waits before me, leaving my nothingness in the dust behind. Only then do I know: I had been you all through the long ignorance of my becoming, through every being of my unbeing. * On these wings of fire I gather unto you in the scattering of your beingness — thoughts made flesh that I dare to call my own, the very thoughts my heart had long denied. Thoughts whose flight from my nothingness leaves only a fading trace behind — a speck of cosmic dust, and that speck is me, a longing vision caught in the glow and the glory of a single moment, not knowing, watching you take flight toward your Self.
