If your days lack warmth, and your nights grow cold.
If you lose all hope, from your fate untold.
May my life be short! Like a firefly's light.
My spirit reborn, with all of love’s might.

AQUILA
Aquila
constellations combinations
permutation patterns her plight
of
water and flight
Eagle
wings soaring powerfully
wind ravages plummeting
her
freedom light
Feather
spiralling slowly lingering
breeze floats cradle embracing
single
winged slight
River
rippling chasing competitions
downward streams drive forward
dreams
floating white
Aquila
unrestrained in naked swim
cooling tranquil Aquarian
finds
Eagles height
And…..
With
Feathered Quill
Water and flight
Write
*(“Aquila” is the Latin and Romance language word for “Eagle” representing the bird carrying “Jupiter’s” thunderbolts in Greco-Roman Mythology—the constellation of Aquarius—)
