Olympus
I dreamt about the crumbling hills,
of lavender, drenched, scented
Highlights of silver dusty light,
Of starry moons, sad tormented
I dreamt of rocks rent asunder
racing to sure destruction
the sound of Cicadas
Gods who gave instruction
I dreamt of mortals bowed,
bowed deep before the thunder
I dreamt of sons who prayed
and the ramblings of their fathers
I dreamt of beauty's soft sweet form,
of cotton warmly pressed
The sound of love and life,
the shape of limb and breast
I Dreamt Titans softly crying
and infant scream in sleep
I dreamt of life and pleasant fields
water flowing still and deep
Where children dreamt of Cerberus
before the sun did finally rise
And mist would quietly disappear
between earth and burning skies
