The White Bird |
There’s somewhere that I have been meaning to revisit |
In and among all, even as its true nature is hid |
Here, in the gloaming and black night |
Here, in the dawn and the golding bright |
There is a design with the larger in the smaller |
I found it in time and the lethargy of matter |
Sing, as would a white bird of mine |
Here, in this hall of a thousand rooms |
I’ve seen it at night tessellating and unfolding |
Sheer gossamer threads, delicate and sacred shimmering |
And if you reached for it, it would shatter |
As things that you’d hold quickly fade away |
There’s something that’s grown, spreading underneath through each inside |
Go see for your own, more and more the air is rarefied |
Now that the spires are crumbling down |
And new holes appear where there once were none |
If you should become separated from the restless herd |
And you’re hearing that hum, know that to this place you may return |
Wandering alone in a city of towers |
One with the leaves and mycelia |
