To have lived and loved,
Blazed with every leaf,
To have moon-bathed, woodland danced,
Resigned been, as the stars placid, to our ephemeral brief,
To have celebrated Creation’s fruits - in wonderment cried;
But to have created, created! Before this slow flesh died!

Adapted from "The Sweet Awhile"
(“In the Heartwoods”, 1997, by Sean Jude)

lyrics

If Thirteen moons danced in my heart,
I would rend the worlds apart
With laughing talons and wild god’s eyes
Beaming with the Thirteen skies.

Where the Great Bear roves the northern clime,
What a thrill of vibrant time
Would still me if that sweet Thirteen
Shone where once her seven had been.

What a thrill, Euclidean joy,
A portrait in the stars
If Thirteen Great Bears raged,
Dicing up to shards
Orion’s Thirteen swords,
Kali’s Thirteen breasts,
Casting into the void
The will that never rests.

If Thirteen seasons cast their ire
Where four had burned a lesser fire,
Winter’s sleep would dream anew
While Thirteen moons the death-time through

Tilted toward that loving glow
Of Jupiter’s Thirteen moons below
The weight of Chronos’ Thirteen hands
Wielding the time in Thirteen sands.

What a thrill, Euclidean joy,
A portrait in the stars
If Thirteen hearts of mine did beat,
Pulsing way afar -
Blood and honour would scream anew
Like Thirteen diamonds wrought
By Thirteen minds of God -
Such life! Elysium sought!

I think I’d like this way…
I think I’d like this way…
