yet we shine
the valiant quest of Perseus
has not gone unnoticed
by the Gods
sword drawn in victory
brandishing the head
of Medusa
for his prize
he was given an Galaxy
of wonder
we now call Andromeda
whose beauty they claimed
exceeded that of Nereids
but who stood in judgment
the contemplative aspects of man’s quest
to become inscribed
in the annals of time
as His Story of sorts
contorts our reason
as we resort to such antics
with our frantic
logic loosed movements
the Zeus’ of our world
herald in new edicts
confounding our good intent
but good intent
serves no master
save that of reward
in the end
the Persephone
win always
and the Queens
do relinquish their realms
and perhaps sovereignty
to another Cassiopeia
who waits in the folds
of time yet to arrive
into our Now-ness
and what is the “Myth”
of the 12 Olympians
will there ever be a clarity
that allows us to
see the light of
each Star’s Soul
yet we shine
embolded
enfolded
in a flux
with a crux
to bear new tale
yet we shine
