The Gyre

Epic romantic poem with spiritual undertones

 
  SO enter the gyre!

My birds wait with baited breath to hear the tale.....

I believe the moon will be full blush and giggle...

The tale of romance waiting for fulfillment under the silver moon

The prince tenderly caresses the fair maiden,

Lips with passion's plea ply her heart with honey and moonbeams,

Mistletoe and Myrrh, a rose,

And the whisper of a song....

Kisses three with blessings too,

The heartstrings drawn for me and you...

Could be maybe, thought occurred,

Love can make the heart absurd

Sky's the limit,

Time may come,

When you know that she's the one....

I reach inside of my own heart,

And see the place where love does start,

And when I am within that place,

I see that love is on the plate,

Upon the table where we sup,

Eat the Bread,

And Drink The Cup.

One for Promise,

Two for Dreams,

Three for Love,

And Four for Rings,

Five for Life,

And Six Time,

Seven for God's gift sublime

Eight for all of Eternity,

And Nine for the jury of the Free,

Ten for the Time of Judgment Day

(Without which we'd be swept away)

Eleven: Forgiveness' bill to pay.

And finally, after all is said,

Foundation laid,

And bill is paid;

Then we see the truth indeed,

That Love is All,

All else is dead

Play the harp,

And ring the bell,

We whom are in tempest swell,

Circling around the gyre,

We spin the mighty spell of life,

In the Center,

In the Eye,

Where there cannot be a lie,

Only truth can be perceived,

Honor, Faith, and Trust believed,

There we have foundation sure,

Hearts guide lifting up the pure,

Sending light out from the source,

Aim is true,

The Bow pulled taut,

Truth illuminates the course,

I am the Arrow, is the thought.

East, South, West, and North, into the Maelstrom we go forth!!!

I wrote this around 1996 on an envelope. It just sort of came out of me.
