Sunward Soar Let Eagle bid Tortoise Sunward soar-- As vainly strength speaks To a broken mind. Bent on speed Now passing low, edges Of a puzzled storm-- Now yields, drifts Now floats upon the air Alone. Far from the flaming White circlet's glow Hovering, still, vibrating Wings in the wind Rise toward the star. In a single wildly wailing note Vanquishing all the heavens, Deadly silence. To meditate-- Wondering there, listening Still, answers His children’s will For prayer. |
Additional Notes:
In honor of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The very first stanza is the only fragment to a poem Coleridge never finished. It has always struck a chord with me, eventually compelling me to complete the thought. I hope I did justice to this fine poet.
