Of Ancient Shrines

Of ancient shrines

Of Ancient shrines rise Prometheus 
where buttressed walls crumble in the minds eye 
we take our dance of cosmic chance 

Colder shades then open seas in praise of life we seek 
we leave it to microbial dust and enrich the mind 
in symbolic rhyme 

Where beauty walks a shadows edge dissolved in empty space 
back to the garden of nature an age of innocence is born 
like wounded faun we’ve weathered storm and awaken the 
minds of men 

Supernova vortexes evolve in double helix spirals of the solar wind 
from protozoan revolutions 
we are stardust once again 
and universes are we 
where up is down and in is out and all of us set free
