Mare of the Soul

Postby Fox of the Oaks » 07 Jul 2010, 01:15

Someone touched the Moon.
Whose heart did roam upon her breast?
Upon those waters luminous?
Seeking wavering rapture, silken peace,
Knowledge through feeling, eternal release?

Someone touched the Moon.
She is blessed, cathartic-less
Enlivening growth and tending to trees
She guides, she dances, sheds hues of white tears...

And revives.
Her glance awakens us,
A soul so fluent with the wind,
Oceans of fullness upon our shores.
Truly alive, I sing to Her;
Freedom is not in this or that,
...Just is.

Oh Wonder sweeper, soul-some keeper,
Dreamer of a thousand lakes,
Deluge of heart,
Over us it wakes.
Moon of light,
My Queen of Night,
In honour to the Sun, you're bright.

Oh wantonness dissolve our weeping,
Of a heart in Nature's keeping.
Truest trust in words true blessed,
Oh sacred lady on a quest.

Moon moon moon triune,
Mare's majesty and poet's swoon.

mmmm beautiful :cloud9:
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears, Looms but the Horror of the shade
And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
