Feathers and flames in the whirlwind
When northern frost bites the tail of Mother Earth
Earth/wind/fire---escaping
Merging with the universe of surrounding stars
As the eagle gliding high upon the thermals of a turning world
As the angel descending from the foothills of grace and serenity
As nothingness itself dissolved: everything, one with all
Wounded scar of burning mountains flooding the sky with darkest night
Gentle touch of pristine feathers resting slowly back upon the land
Comfort in a vortex of raging heat and evaporating ice
Sliding into the slip stream of consciousness where souls find peace
Into/out from/ever onward when dreams burn back with gravity
Into the darkness yet once more to escape
Beyond the molten fury of burning earth and electrified air
In between worlds where spirits listen for forgiveness
Feathers and flames in the whirlwind searching for redemption
