The Swift

Swift sky

I look through the window

I see the open world

A golden glorious creation

Abundant garden of heaven.

 ———–

Above in the crystal sky

Soaring with eternity’s angels

Tasting the morning sun

Flying into vibrant light.

———-

Set me free like the Swift

To glide on tranquil breezes

Drift into consciousness

Lost in paradises freedom.

———-

And then in time return

To feast on the fruit of blessing

Refreshed from the harvest

The joy of the winds glory.

———
