Prometheus Released
Offshore , in the depths of azure
Leviathan stirs , weaving
Turning upward
Seeking that which its lungs cannot find
Without breaching the edge
The border between ocean and sky
A giant spout , like
Old Faithful
Pronounces the arrival of this
Most magnificent of beasts
The shrieking of hungry sea-birds
Disturbed by colossus
Pierces the still morning air
Our friendless giant pays no heed
But ploughs its watery furrow
For the minutiae it feeds upon
The world turns still, when we are gone
And beauty exists forever
Though there may be none to notice
Its eternal gift to sight
Prometheus has been released
And Ozymandiaz is no longer in memory held
The glories once known , slip like sand
Through the fingers of countless aeons
And we are lost into the vast cosmic ocean
Like water returns to water
From sky to land to sea
And back again .
Saturday, late afternoon, the remanants of a cup of coffee have gone cold, the fire is warm, making the room seem cosier than it would otherwise be. The rain is intermittent, but a downpour is sure to come. Got a stinker of a cold, so informed Deacon that unfortunately, I won't be attending service tomorrow.
Going to have a nice hot meal, of roast beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic & herbs, with a side of steamed savoy cabbage, done over the pan of pot's.
I think a hot bath and early bed, are definitely on the cards for tonight, I'll read until I can't, then I'll put out the light & go to sleep. I've got cocoa, so a big mug of steaming hot cocoa beteween exiting the bath & going to bed, will be a nice way to end the evening.
I hope you are well & remembering to live, as well as being the worker/fixer/boss/co-owner/whatever. We must be mindful of the welfare of others, at all times, at all times except when we need to put ourselves first, temporarily, when it's time to recharge ...
