The Visionary 's Feast BCR

The Visionary's Feast

The hawk swoops from side to side kisses the ground
And again does rise
To brilliance
To blue screen skies.

Alone in my thoughts
With the windows wide
shut against the world
I glide by..
My bumptious car eats
up the miles.

Vacant stared miles that
Capture a world
Missed again and never  sought
Green brackish pond by coconut  fronds
Reflecting
A dimmed world of brilliance
Another ethereal universe
Without pretence
Another eternally magical verse...

When this life of mine
Is over
I swear upon my hearse
I will be able to say
so help me god
I have been to heaven
Upon this earth
I have been to paradise
On a scholar' s berth
I am a lowly bard at a worldly table
And I have been much too
Soon to heaven.
