Old Lord SaturnA Poem by MJOTUnder the dominance of the planets A sheer and empty wraith transposes Melodies by gods with sandalled feet and crowns of roses A night-time shore that aligns with Mars A wind blown swiftly past the virtuous stars Cause him to look, and often to listen Often he waits, to hear his mission Yet no sound of
courtesy or gentle vibration plays Upon him not to a higher station raised There are limits, my friend, sayeth a voice that burns The only word in years from the old Lord Saturn © 2016 MJOT |
