With one eye
see through me,
opening hidden doors.
Wrapped in soft black feathers
take off in flight and
help me through the
otherworld terrain.
Not blaze, not frost,
but golden terraces of
great height, calling me
home; like honeyed voices and warm
memories revealed as ineffable experiences.
Guiding me back, I have descended with new eyes.

This dedication of heartfelt words
and softly spoken syllables
is for praise and thanks.
On this day,
only one year ago,
I made a sacred promise.
My oath, which I fulfill
this Winternights,
entailed a success.
In exchange for that success,
I give these offerings of
thought and sustinence.
For all You have done for me,
thank you.
With these new eyes, I look
forward to new experiences.
