MIST CLOTHED
*
Mystifying mystical
Neptune
clothed in mist
rose with his waves
and kissed
the moon he'd so
intensely missed.
*
CHAMBERED SHELLS
*
As Orpheus
led Eurydice out of hell
As Michelangelo released
David from stone,
Love calls us all
from chambered shells
breaking sleeping spells
to seat us in our
own heart thrones.
*
WATERY ARMS
*
Neptune thoughtlessly
tossed his love
in the high tide
onto the shore...
where she was bereft
....stranded among
the empty shells
fizzing with inner
surfbubbles, garlanded
by seaweed,
and housed under driftwood.
Realizing his great
mistake, he flowed
in...lifted her up
with his watery arms
and took her home.
*
DUNE FRINGED
*
Double the octave
of Uranus,
the notes of the tunes
of seaclothed Neptune
are fringed by dunes
and awash in the moon.
*
Footnote:
The orbit of Uranus
which rules friend of the
underdog Aquarius is 84
years, or exactly half
that of Neptune, ruler of
Pisces and friend
of all beings.
*
WEAVER OF WAVES
*
He who sculpts scallops
and carves caves
Who paints the dawn
and weaves the waves
Who engraves the frost
and knits nutshells
can do anything.
He dwells as a genie
within our hearts
awaiting only our
requests.
*
Footnote:
God answers all prayers
.. some through melting
away our desire...
only time determines
when.
