Poetry Book - 9. National Poetry Month 2019 - Part II - Tales of the Old World

*

A lucent star in the abyss of space
A voyage through vortex scapes
And ancient plays unfold

The serpent tower up in the hills
At the gates of wisdom
The serpent’s crown shall be bestowed

*

Dawn breaks forth in the far east
The twin stars give a sense of direction
The forest trees are saying: Morning star, son of dawn,
Ophion, sovereign of Meru and Charioteer of the sun,
Delve into the unknown

In the vast open areas crimson and golden rays
Shining in the first dawn light and unlimited by space
Dawn breaks forth in the far east
Birds are flying from their resting place
Ophion, son of the dawn, delves into the unknown

*

Flickering sun
Renders your vision
The flame of wisdom
Great in power
Time and space are all one
Where is the sun?

*

The sun crawls in the ashes
The sun's underground
Let the sun sleep
The son of the morning
Writhes for rebellion

*

Standing on the edge of reason
Behold the face of doom
On cold landscapes of ghostly substance
The dragons rise from the sea of flames

*
