When Swift, "Bird of Hermes", Its Last Flight Takes

When swift "Bird of Hermes" its fast flight takes
path through nether worlds, its tall broken stones
phantom from Olympic heights swiftly breaks,
to survive ancient gods's dying groans.

Into earthen world, flashing flaming wings
from behind echoes of thunder and light
as...

Hermes broke his Father (Zeus) and Mother’s (Maia) heart
when he intervened upon seeing a green eyed blonde woman
of Celtic origin, on her way to the afterlife, breaking all the rules, 
displeasing Hades whom showered his own desires upon her,
before forcing Zeus to adhered to protocol.

You weren’t aware that notes could kill,
And yet every human sleeps
To the soft melody of their life;
Ignorance is most tragic, and you for
All your vision could not see the blatant world.

You were a favorite tool, and I weep
Seeing myself in you.  You’re leaking 
Our...

In the days of Ancient times
Men and woman honors the Gods
The Gods and humans were one

In the days of Ancient times
Men and woman looked to the Gods
For advisement and were led by them

But the Gods left men and women because

Hermes Apprentice


My work is a part of me
But I am not my work

I am a part of 
The Great Work

My work is not me
My work has a life
of its own

Both my work and I
are a part of...

Nile stretches towards the horizon
In the Valley of the Kings pyramids have arisen
But before pyramids were at the Nile basin

The Gods themselves would describe
And spawn their tribe
And flesh and blood copy...

When old has cried, "Lost spring!"
    young laughs in the verdant bush
And will dance at wedding and wake alike...

HERMES AMAZES ME

I accidentally gazed into a mirror today only to find my reflection of revulsion
I stared at a  man who appeared to be stark raving mad 
A man who gazed back at me with the same type of disgust that I had

That man...

THERE'S NOWT  ON OUR HERM
 
There's a naked heathen godlet
that lodges in our hall;
one leg of his is cocked up in the air.
Does that finger pointing upwards,
on which we hang the keys,
import some noble thought, some lofty theme?
If not, one asks, how should it...

ANYTE OF TEGEA

Stranger, rest your weary legs beneath the elms;
hear how coolly the breeze murmurs through their branches;
then take a bracing draught from the mountain-fed fountain;
for this is welcome shade from the burning sun.
—Anyte translation by Michael R. Burch

Here I stand, Hermes, in the crossroads
