Demeter let loose in Spring
standing up in the palest purple
of the birches
my pollen quivering to let loose its sprays
of tiny fertilising elements on the air
to find solace and joy
the meeting place of pollen's magic grace
by wind
by bees
by birds transported
you employ the breeze
I'm transported by these
your breath's of spring
bereft of senses
sage
I dive into the ancient age of man
where celebrations can
if your yearning awake
the god still sleeping now
asleep
yes pan
you can
come play your pipes
and blow along them
whisperings of the grand awakenings
I am ready
yes I am
take me, take me if you can
blossoms falling all about
as a church's hall devout
Guatemala's spread with grasses green
and all the flowers sprout
because its spring
yes spring
yes spring
and no one can deny it
no one can do owt about it
no you can't
and you shan't
'cos its alive and dancing madly
like a jive to wake the bees
from their hives,
if you please
come
oh come the flower's shout
if you like to be aware
you can climb my stalk
and take your honey from my spout
you will leave unnoticed then
be decked with all my fine pollen
and send it out
Oh spring spring in my skirts of life
Oh spring become my brand new wife
Oh spring keep springing in the dance
and you'll be King
yes King
yes King
