Serpent waterfalls cascading silence
Pisces wept for all ages and sirens
Singing sweet they surround this island
Until watery giants rose from tiny eyelids
Drink this fragrant cup of resonant mind-scent
Freely given for all whom I sent
To remind me of the living descent
We all must pass through embodied or absent
awaken for half a second, a minute, a century
the five-lettered name is etched upon your blood
a pentagram of love drowning in the fiery heavens
swallow the tear shaped seeds one by one
until a labyrinth of beauty blossoms in your soul
breathe in the fragrance of the word
breathe in the fragrance of the flowery worlds
purposefully place the rotting pentacle
upon the altar of the SUN
dip the hem of your dress in the cooling waters of the moon
and it will turn the color of hummingbird wings
dream of nighttime's golden apples
blooming in forgotten orchards in the spring
awaken for half a second, a minute, a century

Until watery giants rose from tiny eyelids
Drink this fragrant cup of resonant mind-scent
Freely given for all whom I sent
To remind me of the living descent
We all must pass through embodied or absent
awaken for half a second, a minute, a century
the five-lettered name is etched upon your blood
a pentagram of love drowning in the fiery heavens
swallow the tear shaped seeds one by one
until a labyrinth of beauty blossoms in your soul
breathe in the fragrance of the word
breathe in the fragrance of the flowery worlds
purposefully place the rotting pentacle

dip the hem of your dress in the cooling waters of the moon
and it will turn the color of hummingbird wings
dream of nighttime's golden apples
blooming in forgotten orchards in the spring
awaken for half a second, a minute, a century
