He rides the Wind in power and right,
Born of Eternal Light.
All goodness follow in His train,
Like comet tails, falling stars,
That fire my night.
Here light upon my soul and nest,
As spirit bird, find place of rest,
Spreading feathered wing
As shelter, and friend,
To Godly bless.
Stirring, fan the embers of my love,
To blaze anew in fire from above
Transforming dust and dross,
To forge one who walks
Amongst the flame, O Holy Dove.

Thank you The Purple Treehouse for the invitation to haiku with you.
Here’s my fun shot at the form:
Tiny dancers flight,
Wind blown snow, pirouetting,
Tumbling, now, to rest.
