Red Magnetic Skywalker
Poetry rises like the Mist---
Aurora
Borealis* at
the northern Gate
Streaming new Mythologies---
Sound and Light incarnate
Look to the Moon
Her constant Inconstancy
Power transformed
Enchantment embodied
Civilizations deconstruct
Nascent Nation-States
Buy and sell themselves
Into Oblivion
Single-eyed Wotan
Wanders toward Bethlehem
Like the Cyclops, Polypheme---
Beast of Cruelty and Mayhem
Listen to your S(elf)---
Your shadowed Soul
Singing to you often
In a small Voice, soft
Attune to the Helix---
Radiosonic Matrix---
Song of the next Age
Spinning into Grace
Look to the new Time
A Vision that glows
On the far Edge of Destiny
Where the Tree of Life
Blossoms and grows.
*In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis (the northern
lights), named after Aurora, the Roman Goddess of dawn, and
the Greek name
for the north wind, Boreas.
