Saying Goodbye to Soaring

we will sing water music and flow on
and let God out of the closet of his own creation
where we have thrust Him weeping

only is it his tears or ours
we can't define in dreams
and so imagine ourselves, wilderness

with what remains to us without Him
this is what is not certain
what we can never prove

not that He has gone
what is song without Him
the fountainhead of song

the banished poets whisper

only a heartbeat away
from Being, Beauty. Light
how will we take flight

never knowing His name again
the Icarian wondera plunging out of sight
into Bruegel's green sea.
