Oh I have soared so high
Higher than any eagle
Has flown, chasing after
Flashing quicksilver wings
Of butterfly angels
Reaching out,persuing,
To sweetly touch the face
Of the tender heavens
And I have danced deeply
Swaddled in delicate
Shadows of soft satin
Upon this great sweat stained
Stage called mortality
Treasuring the faces
Of love in the endless
Energies of my life
And I have swallowed all
In the powerful mirth
Of a simple deep breathe
With the hungry beating
Of a single heartbeat
So gently close to mine
Merging strong as one mind,
Body heat, thought to thought
Then I have fallen,down,
Tumbling, uncontrolling
To the cruel darkness
Of inhumanity
Down into hell's fires
Psyche twisted in pain
Beyond all recognition
And no hope for repair
But I have flown again
High among the heavens
And butterfly angels
To ride the winds of change
Wheeling, soaring, higher
Than the dank shadows
To dance again, to love,
And touch the face of God
