HER WINGS WERE THE WINGS UNSEEN, HER WORDS WERE THE WORDS UNSPOKEN

There on the mountain, 
as they gazed out over the green abyss 
of the lower, glittering, glowing world, 
he knew she had the only true Innocence, 
the strength and shining purity of it, 
it was her birthright, it was her dream 
grown in the wild wastelands between the stars 
and nurtured by the dance of newborn suns, 
he knew it was what graced the world, 
what gave it purpose, delicacy and love, 
to her the deep winds of chaos and destruction 
revealed their inner light, their yearning for beauty 
in the brief moment of her glance, 
always turned toward the ocean and endless rhythm 
of the sky, the light might dim, the storm might rise, 
but she knew its inner melody, she knew Harmony 
was the true builder of worlds, the true sweet nectar 
that all great spirits sipped, her wings were the wings 
unseen, her words were the words unspoken, 
but they were the poetry, the laugh of the cosmic lyre 
as fingers supple as the Universe flexed, 
and sound rang forth...
