GUSTAVE KAHN,SYMBOLIST

Feeling abandoned
by the Word
scattered over time
your tender voice
summons angels
like blue tinted birds
in plate glass windows
on a house of worship
you mourn your exile
in the shadow fringes
of your rented garment,
soon better days
may arise above us
for a wise poet and prophet
will wash away your tears
from your dark eyes
when Messiah in his years
will be recognized
and a new paradise
of love just dreamed of
will be realized.
