white trefoil in a starry way,
a laurel wreath, rape of leda
& the swan's song is no more.
as if, a new morn should spawn
again, as a faun upon the lawn,
as hawk, bird, worm gets dawn
& the riddle of me, dark lady.

invisible yet, at my own alter,
unfathomable in question there,
in the mirror�s pool as you pass
to appear through an isle of glass.
in a dream that's without scream
& faces lost sown in night�s seam.

An intense vision and fusion of mythological imagery and spiritual essence. Enjoyed this very much.

Oh, Robin, I love the idea of white clover! The wife of King Tyndareus of Sparta, loved by Zeus (Jupiter) in the form of a swan., mother of Castor, Pollux, and Helen. And I marvel at your faun, imaging it, a little sylvan deity with pointed ears, small horns, and a goat's tail, half human, half goat. I am a Sagittarius, centaur my zodiac symbol! A wonderful mythological poem, Robin. It is a delight to read your poetry. I shall wait for your next, my dear friend. Thanks again for all you do for me. I must say it.

Love this river journey to the great beyond. Masterfully expressed to say the least...
Peace and Blessings,
Carolyn
