Goddess sleeping
Fingers of light
cleave a dawn sky
grant a glimpse into
forever worlds
where myths & Gods
are born.
You lie beneath
an ocean deep
where sirens sing
seductive songs
to lull your sleep
deep in the womb
of winter.
The Dark Lord
softly strokes your hair
& you have slept
these thousand years,
your hands are cold
your heart is numb
you’re a frozen star:
like an arrow pulsing
back through time
we search your smile.
This melody is
calling you
to animate your
stone cold limbs
to breathe again
to dream of love:
but no one’s come
to take your hand
to lead you home.
Fingers of light
clasp a clear dawn
caresses cheek to
rosy hue, there’s
diamonds frosting
every lawn;
a crescent moon
a pale white sun,
you stretch in sleep
sing lilting songs
of warmer days
of spring to come
children’s laughter
swallows dive
a world restored
a world reborn.
