Apotheosis

© 1986



Resplendent brass proclaim glorious victory
undergirded by thundering timpani
rejoicing strings evoke ecstatic praise
waves of fulfillment sweep the soul
above the clouds
into a transfigured region
pervaded by the divine majesty
with its magnificent Sonshine


Author’s Note: This poem, written in August of 1986, was inspired by the triumphant ending of Bruckner’s Third Symphony.
