yet we shine

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
