For Rhiannon

oh beloved Rhiannon

know the rhythm

of my jaded heart

 

as sapphire skies

dissolve into ebony

and stars dance

 

and I stare

almost trance-like

at the near-full moon

and she is you

 

and you

cradle a baby

your baby boy

your son, Rhiannon

 

Rhiannon, beloved Rhiannon

understand me

 

hear me

heal me

teach me

love me

save me

I am going crazy

 

and your humility

humbles me

and your spirit

astounds me

 

and tonight I pray to you

beautiful goddess

I pray to you
