Elusive Elixir of Elysian
millennia passed
as a trickle
of water
drip-dropped
with singular persistence
wearing an overt
grove
into the granite
depth
drip-dropping with time-worn regularity
a bowl was formed… a bowl of liquid crystal …
fence of briar
in interwoven folds
protects the contents of the sacred bowl
forever shielding the Elixir of Elysian it holds
… until the Prophecy of Life unfolds…
and then will come… so it has been said
from ancient tombs it has been read
a handmaiden to Gaia herself –
- the briar fence with part at her gentle touch
the granite will offer foot-holds
and she who comes with no expectations
will find… a treasure more pure than gold.
