Of Gunas three, Tamas holds sway,
cajoling consciousness to rest,
though the child in us wants to play,
of zest and zeal we’re dispossessed.
Heart contracted and soul’s stance stooped,
we have been by lethargy duped,
yet like the Phoenix we may rise,
embracing each breath in surprise.
I crawl into my pyramid of crystal;
beside a singing lake of sunlit waters.
I meditate here as the lovely notes call;
I watch the wildflowers dance with their partners.
Upon sharp ears do golden water-notes fall;
in this place of beauty where I seek answers.
Bright golden waves whisper to souls in the light;
"come drink"; I breathe in all these wonderful sights.
Somehow it seems life loses joy
A game, perhaps a twisted ploy
An end to those most tender years
The zest is gone, but life goes on
Till her last welcome breath is drawn
False hopes reality now clears
Somehow it seems life loses joy
A game, perhaps a twisted ploy
No one her age can still recall
The charms of youth that did enthrall
An end to those most tender years
False hopes reality now clears
Somehow it seems life loses joy
A game, perhaps a twisted ploy
You mere mortals I have told repeatedly.
We gods and goddesses on Mt. Olympus
want to be known by our true identity.
I have already approached you about this.
I’m the moon goddess; “Artemis” is my name.
Perhaps Helios should consume you with flame.
If I hear any of you call me “Selene”,
I will have to do something very obscene.
Robert Pettit for Nette’s “Into The Mood of Imagery” contest.
To quell the anger of the earth's beating heart
Spiritually parched and bleeding torn, scars;
Yet still haunting visions of people apart
Rendering resplendent sights, skies with no stars.
The courageous lions roar hoping to mold
Opposites to magnetic attraction, bold;
Because they both become the same old pawns
Drawn in and diluted, welcomed as hell yawns.
"Accept the things I cannot change"
