The Cycle of the Season
There he sat graced in gold
Divine the bride of light,
Caressed the words from their mould
Until the Beauty left the Spite
Within the nature lay Apollo
Adorned the isle of Delos
Playing the harp he sang his sorrow
Yet the harmony is to many lost!
The music swam and swam
Luminous a longing delight
Softly sewing an ocean a lamb
Natures knowing of tuneful sight
Like the air so free
He lay down his harp
A beautiful vision no man can see
Holy slumber the weight of dark
Dreaming beneath the celestial canopy
The ruby red moon in Apollo’s prophecy...
She’s ecstasy. Dancing. Ethereal
On the preternatural surface,
The music liquid in her body swims from elsewhere, she soaks the moon red
She’s in ecstasy the moon is
Ecstasy...
Upon the barren moon the notes fell apart
In fragments that rained on
Artemis’ now so calmly heart
From his vision Apollo looked in ecstasy
At the crimson moon. Blessed from radiance,
Enamoured and unscathed he began to play to perform it all
Their worlds were once in tangles
Now entwined. Artemis, Apollo
The salt of the earth and the
Crust of the moon swallowed
The revelation of terrestrial rebirth
Only balanced by the
Charcoal burnt sunrise.
There he sat graced in gold...
She’s ecstasy, she’s dancing...
