i see myself in your big green eyes
too wide to see the world at your fingertips
your mother's heart beating in your breast
and the breath of aphrodite in your lungs.

your fingers grasp at futures you cannot hold
too fine for your hardworking hands
instead you dream and sing your wishing
sailing with your sorrows to a new tomorrow.

you are shaped by a woman's love
and you seek the seed planted in her womb
a pale shadow dragging along after her
oh where is your radiant sun?

the timing is impeccable, as is your hair
feasts abound in flowers and love affairs
and while uncertainty lingers
mother's moon is joined by the triple sun.
