Finding Myself Again…

The powers that amuse the cosmos
Have universally shifted my center core…
No longer am I Sagittarian,
Turquoise in my eyes
My bow at the ready, my eyes
On the prize, no…

Now behind some sun, lies an old
New sign, that of
A serpent bearer, an unceasingly gentle
What? A giant? A Greek god of medicine
And healing powers, holding a serpent
Of rebirth, offering cures to all
Who might become sick by their dreams.

Who is to trust me, albeit my
Stone is now crystal (and many believe
In the powers of crystals.)
For if I am truly Ophiucus, or
Serpentarius as yet another name,
Apparently I can now use
My gifts in a positive and active way,
That I might fulfill my soul and
Rest in my easy.
(I thought I had…)
But I doubt that I will gather peonies…

But try as they might, we Sags may not live long
Under this new sign…as naysayers want to
Rid the skies of this new ride…so I shall
Watch both signs while I may
And listen to my own counsel…

Just as I have always done.

Hah! Amen. Aries born, Aries die. Silly.

But your poem was anything but silly, and, in the end, after all that had been said, you rocked, "Just as I have always done."

~ Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. ~
