Sirens Song

Sirens Song

What pain did wisdom twist
What wrung was wrought
What sorrows spun
Out of earthly control
 
Forgotten long ago
Was I to myself
& in the clearing
where no love stood
lost
I stand...

Ready  
To make first call
To risk an edge
To howl
To dance
This crazy dance
This Winken & Nod
This pheromone fight  
This object we over go  
Toward the staggering gasm
The guttural glow
 
Yet, 
Some switch somewhere
Had to be flipped
Some element of inner magic
Ignited
Some list recounted
And tallied so that
Years of nothings
Could become
the wings of somethingz
 
Yes,
In Love I am 
with the whirl of the wind
& on the air of this beautiful song
I will go
 
It's siren is too strong
