A Study In Equinoxes

Beautiful Venus smiled upon her Mars Diving through time and space, falling from stars With hooded eyes she moved to entice him Green hips waving about, a flower stem When Spring revealed her kingdom to his awe At last Jack Frost's cold heart began to thaw They slowly sway together, building trust and into the virile clay he did thrust Sweet succulent nectar she did siphon In full sun, the fruit began to ripen He grew much stronger, harvesting the field Took such pride in the bounty it did yield But time caught up to him and he grew old Autumn leaves mourned his light that now shone cold Venus held him close and they danced once more his body weakened and her waters tore Taking one last gasping breathe, another The wailing son now proclaims her mother ----------------- Not necessarily mythologically accurate...but a cute little story about the seasons.
