The firebird and firedove
The dove of passion
And the dove of love
Dance the dance of flames
Court in a ring of crazy fire
For the love of life
For a scarlet ribbon
For a crimson caress.
Edge a’ light edges a’ flame
Feather a’ light feathers a’ flame
Feathers and flames
Feathers in flames
Feathers of flames
Wings on flame
Flames on wings
The kiss of fire
And the flight of flame
Ravage veld and bush
Jump road and stream
Devour tree for tree.
Lightning tears through the stars
Thunder sings thunder never ending
In unending blinding light
In eternal heavenly delight
The thunderbird roars a storm of songs.
Sing the song of thunder!
Sing the song of storms!
Song of songs
Storm of storms
Song of storms!
Song of thunder!
Song of wildfire love!

Favourite song, Suzi Quattro, she's in love with you. Favourite sport, active or passive? Neither.
Got to run. Places to go things to do people to see. Cheers!

Wings on Flame

There was a saviour
Rarer than radium,
Commoner than water, crueller than truth;
-
Children kept from the sun
Assembled at his tongue
-
Prisoners of wishes locked in their eyes
In the jails and studies of his keyless smiles.
- - -
The voice of children says
From a lost wilderness
There was calm to be done in his safe unrest,
- - -
There was glory to hear
In the churches of his tears,
Under his downy arm you sighed as he struck,
-
O you who could not cry
On to the ground when a man died
Put a tear for joy in the unearthly flood
- - -
- - -
Two proud, blacked brothers cry,
Winter-locked side by side,
To this inhospitable hollow year,
- - -
Now break a giant tear for the little know fall,
- - -
See, alone in us,
Our own true strangers’ dust
- - -
Ride through the doors of our unentered house
Exiled in us we arouse the soft,
Unclenched, armless, silk and rough love that breaks all rocks.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

And I must enter again the round
Zion of the water bead
And the synagogue of the ear of corn

The Eagle
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
Lord Tennyson

The hand that whirls the water in the pool
Stirs the quicksand; that ropes the blowing wind
Hauls my shroud sail.
~ Love drips and gathers, but the fallen blood
Shall calm her sores.
~
And I am dumb to tell a weather's wind
How time has ticked a heaven round the stars.
