Notes About The Poem

The Oracle's Descent

Footsteps absorbed as maids descend
into the Delphi's cave they went.
Pellucidar is what they sought;
no thoughts of Dante's lurid hell;
questing an inner earth to dwell.
Down where the core a sun begot;
footsteps absorbed as maids descend
into the Delphi's cave they went.

Green life fluoresced where light was cast.
The lakes and waterfalls were vast.
Pendicular is what they sought,
down where the core a sun begot.
Footsteps absorbed as maids descend
into the Delphi's cave they went.

It reads to me, beautifully, like a mystic's dream, how all things can layer, overlap like a ethereal collage -- meant to intrigue and startle with odds of imagery. YES! Brilliant. xoxo Congratulations! Well deserved.
