Listening to every heart

Serpens

Took off glasses, opened ancient book
Closing eyes, let fated hook
Find this storied before, of then, in stars
Showing forces that just are
Birthed before a Zodiac was known
And those who were they
In the where of back when ~
They, who wrote too soon, and
Missed the bite, the healing signs….
Of there, and then
No sign in Zodiac, not even when…

Now to learn of once white crows
Affairs of two hearts not to be known
Centaurs caring for babes in hold
The reason for serums
And wrestler of serpents, all of this
In stories old

The gods of then with powers shown
Bade fairly quick when tempers thrown
Into a curve of quick revenge
To know, then strike, no consequence,
Then, the gods that forbade, forgave, eye
For eye
Before the truths of One were nigh
In the myths and ologies
Were actions swift, then
Apologies

Restorations of dead to life
All found in stars that still blink
Curiosity may be one’s strife
So look to the heavens, stop, and think.

I like this particularly the reference to constellations as apologies.

Well, my dear, how appropriate to the dilemmas I have been facing.  

I hate unknown of late.  
So sick of not knowing.  
For what is to be my fate--
Born of seeds, I'm sewing??

Or is it all written in the stars?  I want answers...all part of the easy way out, I suppose.  

Oh stars, stars in the sky
Breathe sigh...answer my why
For honesty bring might
Revealed in stars tonight.

Curiosity does bring stife.  

So I ask to get a reply...
Evaluate, assess the why.

You are making me think in verses, no less!
Incredible write!

Thanks everyone...this all started because Mars is so close, and has gotten me into a constant state of star and planet gazing...

Glad I didn't miss this one.
I was humbled during the 'blackout of 2003' to find myself on a beach at night...
watched the moon rise over the still lake waters..
and see why Mars is indeed called the 'red planet'.
Very well done hip-sis!
~Hugs and I'm off shortly~

~The breeze that kissed you on the face,
    Has held me in the same embrace~
