Solstice Sea

The pilgrim came to the shore of the infinite sea    Feral Gardens of the mermaid's lonely song    There he chanted the gift of reprieve    To be sent across the ocean where the rivers merge    At dusk he waded in    And climbed the pinnacle of island    In solitude he reached out to the wheeling stars    Loving hands grasping the Goddess constellation    Fervent madness for her forms    Enchanting the bridge of sighs    Memorizing the dancer's line    For a moment he heard the laughter of ankle bells     A patchouli breeze exhaled by the crash of wave   O Sacred Sea    And so The Solstice passed    And light began its flow to Summer's promise
