The Third Wing


The truth in translation

knowledge distraught …

He swept through the cosmos

a truant uncaught

His wings never clipped

his sails never trimmed

He flew through tomorrow

a new Seraphim

Those who were watching

their eyes disbelieve

Unburdened by dogma

—transcendence achieved
