Love remains in an unvisited land
Where the country of my affliction
Stands safely not understood -
Alien and apart to the foreign integrity
...
No sound in this world
as a singing bird -
his music unfurled
mutes words - stringing on air
...
No molten fire now my blood,
Nor pulse that thickly clots my brain -
Burnt down to skeletal need again -
I tend the embers till grown cold
...
The Eagle
Courage is of the eagles care -
Flight without limit -
The open wings master fear -
Freedom is not for the timid
