Avalon*

white moon, wrapped
in your night, stars rain
down & clouds obliterate.

lone moon of seasons´
stations, i am seed
born of a darkness

darker than your night,
sprung from earth´s womb
in aurora to twilight gloam.

drawn through your vortex
on your mind´s tourbillions,
kissed by your lady

white, i become through
earth, air, water, flame
the ages i have

been & ages
to come, celestial
dragon voyage.

* After the Lady of Avalon
