Rebirth of Apollo
Your muscular body glistened
As warm golden streaks of sun
Streamed down on you
You’re standing in the lake
In the level of your sinewy thighs
Where water is solemn and blue
As if your ember like body
Is dipped in the blue
To cool off the hotness within
Are you possessed
with the spirit of Apollo?
You bend your body
Hands stretched forward
Curved back
Ready for the dive,
Indeed you steal
The grace of his bow!
You fling your body
Towards the water
In an instant-
Waves rippled
From the center of you
Bullseye! everywhere you plunge.
Indeed you steal,
The accuracy of his arrow!
Now I’m convinced
That you are indeed
An embodiment of Apollo!
