A Message to Hermes

Sunday. The day of calm peace

when Ra directs Apollo,

while Kronos rests,

to pull a little on the reigns.

Giving us time to take breath;

repose in tranquil leisure;

copy the gods;

spend a day in relaxing pleasure;

prepare for the next week’s onslaught.

So if you inflict bad news

tell me on Satan’s day.

For with the sun I can heal

and await Annit

to bring the love of the moon.

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: Western Australia, AUS

Favorite Poets: Favourite poets? So many, so varied. I like particular songs, not necessarily the singer... and the same goes for poetry. I can honestly say though, that Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman was what inspired my love of poetry - my mother began reading it to me when I was still a baby, and it became my favourite bedtime story

Lovely poem Judy

But I have to admit I hate Sunday's...nothing personally to the day, I just seem to wake up on a Sunday feeling less motivated than other days. Rosina xena465
