Jun 2019
Deep in my soul
I felt weak and weary
And knew that my end
Hung silently near me
But on the wind
And through the trees
A sound fluttered down
A nearby breeze
It danced along
A deviant path
Bending and phasing
In a joy filled wrath
My hollow bones
So light and enchanted
By that colorful tone
Not evil nor slanted
Pushed ever onward
And looked out below
The source of this song
I was thirsty to know...
I came upon a white city
Shining in the distance
If it weren’t for the music
I would have missed it
Eagles soared above
From mountaintop trees
They flew with grace
Together on a breeze
I felt myself hopeful
And drawn to their course
To that faraway city
Far off to the north
With haste I dashed
Down rocky plateaus
For I felt at home
From my head to my toes
Like a child I raced
As the sun finally set
Until I was caught
By a rope-wound net!
It was forever as if
I floated across those plains
My captors carried me
With grace so strange
As the music got nearer
Eagles sang with flutes
Piecing together a melody
Known by trees and their roots...
I was placed in company
Of a magnificent king
His crown was white
And his robe, and his ring
He bid me welcome
To live among his people
In his white city of courtyards
Towers and steeples
As I opened my mouth
And my heart to say yes
He stopped me before that
With one lone request
I must dwell in this realm
Until the end of my days
For in hiding, he said,
We all must remain
Hidden from the darkness
That dwells beyond the mountains
Hidden among fairies,
Family, and fountains...
So there I dwelt
Until the end of my life
In that shinning white city
With my children and wife
I’ll never forget
That most fortunate day
That by music and eagle
I was once led astray...
I felt weak and weary
And knew that my end
Hung silently near me
But on the wind
And through the trees
A sound fluttered down
A nearby breeze
It danced along
A deviant path
Bending and phasing
In a joy filled wrath
My hollow bones
So light and enchanted
By that colorful tone
Not evil nor slanted
Pushed ever onward
And looked out below
The source of this song
I was thirsty to know...
I came upon a white city
Shining in the distance
If it weren’t for the music
I would have missed it

And drawn to their course
To that faraway city
Far off to the north
