Dread not the rosy fingered dawn,
Her heart walks in springtime,
Trailing garlands
Of wildflowers in her veil
Wedded to the mountains and the oceans,
Embraced by the winds,
Born of the deep seas and raised amongst the dense foliage of the wildest woods,
She carries with her the spark of autumnal magic,
A beautiful solitude amongst the Ruby leaves.
The heavens glitter like diamonds in her hair and their wisdom hangs like dew drops glittering in the melancholy of her eyes,
Wandering planets whisper the secrets of humanity in her ears and she responds with the depth of the deepest caverns,
Filled with warmth and mystery,
Once moist, quiet and still, then
Lit by the churning furnaces of the earth,
The passions which heave within her sighing bosom,
Filled with the music of a mellifluous rain forest,
A thousand caged birds beating against the bars of the universe,
Stretched out like skeletal fingers,
Streaks of Amber clouds,
Following the half-submerged footprints left by her memories,
Ancient, sublime and filled with the hopeless wonder of eternal youth,
She beckons to you like a lover,
Filling you with the substance of a thousand heartfelt memories and her seasons resonate within your spirit,
Until your heartbeat matches the rhythm of her soles.
She creeps along the horizon,
Weaving time, the past, the present and the future,
Into a band she wraps around the cosmos,
As you stand here, a moment in space, and place in time,
She threads fate through the needle of death, passing through the eye of rebirth.
Fear not roaming twilight or the pitch of night,
Know that once more,
The scarlet lips of dawn will soon kiss the celestial sphere,
Lightning the amphitheater through which the whole of humanity hums,
the tunes of nature and screams into the abyss,
Shaking the heavens and murmuring like a wayward brook.
Fear not that which is lost shall soon be found,
and rising like a Phoenix from its ashes,
She shakes the golden sunlight of her tresses,
Reviving the earth,
Awakening the sleeping soul
