With Wings Unfolded
Don Hynes
June 26, 2014
Much has fallen away -
the medals, the money,
the magical thinking
turned by the long slow arc
to become like old crow
who croaked at the beginning
about what doesn’t last,
yet standing before your art
I see our lifetimes compressed,
the once unformed angel
with wings now unfolded,
the colors of the eternal
in time released brilliance
shooting holes in the dark curtain
ego uses to cover its ignorance,
restoring in my weather worn heart
the hopeless infatuation with beauty.
