Jay Del Fierro Poet Epic

Laskrizon , 3

A sliver of gold
on the distant horizon
the promise
of a rising new day

The twin's , Ahpla and Agemo
spring to all fours and shake
instinctively , nose's turn upward
as if to smell
the sweet golden scent 
of the coming sun

They pad around in circle's
doing their morning dance
excited , yet gracious
the sun's love continue's

" Agemo "
" yes , my brother "
" have you thought of the question ? "

Agemo , again ,
senses Ahpla's growing concern

With every black moon
a visitor from the north
arrives with a message
we're allowed one question

Concern , rightfully so
since there are many question's

Prudence , you learn immediately
fore on the day 
of my 7th black moon
my mistake was 1st the message
I asked what the meaning

S' woa , the visitor , replied
" left to you now "
when I was to ask my question
S' woa , interrupted with
" you have asked your one "
leaving that moment then
with even more question's

I'll never forget that message
alway's presented in riddle form

In hindsight , it was two-fold
anticipating my question lost
the riddle thus served
additional understanding

S' woa's riddled message was....
" A peacock has many eye's , yet
blind to his own vanity.....
do you rid the tail feather's of blindness
or , do you open the eye's of mindfullness ? "

The wise arctic owl
she in her snow white 
gleaming , not just her garment 
but in her flight back north
as I was left to ponder
even more so.......
