-- On the Wings of the Dawn --

John Herlihy

 

If I ride the silky wings of the dawn,

I will find you there.

If you dwell in the depths of the sea,

You will take me there.

If I receive the blessing of a rainbow,

I will sincerely praise thee.

If you give me the wisdom to guide me,

I will follow wherever you lead me.

If beneath my feet a pathway paved in gold,

I will find you there to behold.

If the stars should whisper in fields of wonder,

I will hoard all of their words as plunder.

If the sun illuminates the course of my day,

The moon will brighten my darkest night.

If I ride the velvety wings of the twilight,

We will fly together into the night.

Reviewed by Odin odin@aflx.com

A poetic rhapsody of metaphoric imagination, worthy of identity for the religious and the secular. Not many explorations of following a connection to the depths of wherever fulfill the broader spectrum of identity like this one does. Would that the inner self, the inner spirit would adhere and allow such imagination each and every day... my, what a different world we might live in. Well done.
