Tranquillitas to Apotheosis
How ethereal the Roman goddess has become
Seeping only into music's quieter moments
Begging the quiet repose of aching hearts
To rest
To calm
To become still
Peace knows of her grandeur
Her relentless quest for serenity
Sanctuary
Connection
To all that is at peace
Or might be at the ready
Ancient writing
Bore synaptic relationship with
Annona
Goddess of corn-harvest-survival for Egypt
And Securitas
Symbolizing the Roman Empire's tenuous security
Where today might be found
The Tranquillitas of a placated and satiated population
Where the mind and heart's tranquil weather awaits entrance
Where rancor and hatred
Might be nullified
Allowing a collective focus
To ascend toward the ultimate
Glory
Power
Importance
Yes
Blissful in nature
Secular in tolerance
Supreme in its understanding
Patient with its evolving honesty
Confined to the within
Yet...
Oh how soft the inviting allegro
Urging one's andante
Prepare for Time's adagio
That realm of contemplation
Where anger recedes
Joy leaps not
But caresses the wounds
Beckoning a Tranquillitas moment
Revealing fully one's own Apotheosis
