Of dog faced gods....

Imperial love, I am the essence of all things
To stand upon the balconey of life’s desires and look upon the huddled mass of your fears
I am the base nature and cruelty of humanity.
Deep within you, your hatred consumes your self esteem
I am that pit
The essence of all things human.

Rail against inevitability, it makes no difference.
Once the moment is upon you, ages have passed and time no longer has meaning
Your life is but an instant.
Clarity is fleeting, sobriety cuts like the cold wind of a winters morning.
Breathing frozen air like daggers of ice.
Stagger until you fall.

The only eternity

Inspired by Cyan's audio file 'Albatross' and the desire to reach across the sea....
The image is from this site.

Carrying the seeds of care,
she spins for ever and a day,
dancing like the milky way.
turning and spinning, trailing her hair
With wind in her eyes and grass at her feet,
she sings with the birds,
songs without words,
smiles at all she meets.
Can you hear her distant call?
the fishermen lament,
the farmers pause, and raise their eyes
at the saddest songs of all.
Why are you crying little one, don’t you know?
All that breathes is doomed to die
Whether on land, in sea or sky
Onwards life will go.
Your memory will fade, your visions pass
into the maelstrom of light,
beyond our sight
the only eternity
the weight of love, and memories aglow
