The Queen of Bubbles
[Written for a picture] The Youth speaks: - "Why do you seek the sun In your bubble-crown ascending? Your chariot will melt to mist. Your crown will have an ending." The Goddess replies: - "Nay, sun is but a bubble, Earth is a whiff of foam - To my caves on the coast of Thule Each night I call them home. Thence Faiths blow forth to angels And loves blow forth to men - They break and turn to nothing And I make them whole again. On the crested waves of chaos I ride them back reborn: New stars I bring at evening For those that burst at morn: My soul is the wind of Thule And evening is the sign - The sun is but a bubble, A fragile child of mine."
