Sprint Through The Wilderness

Just passing right through

Not for any fear of flames

But for love of one

Red narrows to gold

So in momentary grace

I pray gratefully

Room after room pierced

Until highest hopes acheived

Then bid fine farewell

Not lost in darkness

For Phoenix sight sees the hues

And recalls the steps

This feels like instinct

Like salmon swimming upstream

Or butterfly flight

All the while we

Laugh with joy sequestered and

Perfect the blueprints

You knew I'd return

Your song laced with when and how

Have you yet grasped why?

I must remember

Clear things here might be shrouded

I love you, my dear
