Heaven's Bodies
By Walter Burns
Here, you’ve placed upon me The colors of the sea So backwards, I regress On the floor there is a dress The sun shed the sea Like a gown over me I lay, my ears are roaring The sun peaks through, adoring My turn to clothe the sun A new day has now begun The moon sits there so cold The sea is just as old And to the moon she must abide For he guides the ocean tide The sea, discarded gown The moon could never drown Neither offers, nor takes the dress And backwards, I regress In chaos, before the forming A sense of warmth is swarming And I was all of these and none The day of birth has now begun So many sins yet to confess And now may I progress Laying softly upon the beach With heaven’s bodies there to teach You and I in this new world Where chaos finds us hurled And from heaven we are clothed Now in union, now betrothed © on Jul 01 2001 03:50 PM PST 0
