Loves Fire

Jupiter









Reaching out from swirling bliss
Loves fire in the whorl of night

far off in that immense abyss
to floating islands faerie light

voices calling each to each
murmer transitions shifting lines

twisting runes by Vulcan speech
Graved in iron chased with light

From Sols heart to Orions reach
glint spears and pikes a starry host

mustered beneath the rising arch
before the banshee calls the ghost

They sing you see an endless march
love harmonizing in the dark
