Poem
“The End of Summer” In those days they watched for signs in the heavens numbers connected the ways that weighted the scales written in the stars a woman gave birth to a dragon’s tale in a beehive cluster distant, yet, oh so familiar Praesepe, in ancient times, a language, common and Roman mysterious unexpected wonder ushers in heralded motions passages changing passing the irridescent colour guards of moons flaming emerald Nishimura lights up dark night sky fiercely mesmermising like a god ridden firefly, hauntingly borne, eerie beautiful rune baptised tears in bitter waters the end of that Summer books and their versatile chapters some kept safe exchanging their hidden missives, their covert messages the pearls of great price for a kingdom of treasure nets and their fish, the angels kept those they released, beyond censure In those days they watched for signs 3 parts a flame their world underwater satellites drowned cabals in their blood red oceans 144,000 sons and daughters waited undefined then, the strange others arrived to rule our demons in the melting tribulation cauldron glowing Pelacarus light armoured goblins flying like strange frightening angels silver winged monarchs mantis not praying peeling back faces revealing the bones of lost souls the pearls of great price, all, the souls of lost sons and daughters in a lost world it began the end of that Summer (LadyLabyrinth / 2023) “You doubt and you're desperate, you wear both your cross and your hammer Such beautiful dreams of violence, in them your tongue is made of silver But we don't fight like animals, we fight like men No, we don't fight like men, we fight like Gods Holy, Holy No we don't fight like animals, we fight like men No, we don't fight like men, we fight like Gods” (“Fight Like Gods”, excerpt lyrics) “When you're underwater whisper Wait for all the sounds to fall away When you're underwater insert your feet on the wall of things (“Virginia Wolfe Underwater”, excerpt lyrics) “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. They hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes.” Matt 13:45-46 NIV Matt 13
