Together
Poit
We had sat for many years
Welcoming the Dawn,
Awoken early by Blackbirds song
On Summer mornings, warm,
And evenings too, as we held hands
And watched the Sun go down,
Saw slow white Clouds drifting by
To make a stunning crown
As golden light drifts into Night,
With sleep an enveloping gown.

But This Night,
This shortest time that follows Longest Day,
This period of Serenity, motionless Tranquillity
Where only Dolmens sway,
This Night a marker in the Flight of Time,
For, I swear, I saw a Meteor framed by a Celestial Light,
And Janus at this Comets helm. a rainbow craft, pure white
With gleams of pearl and bronze, silver, gold and azure blue,
A Chariot of wondrous size, complete in every hue.

Was this Lucifer astonishing my eyes,
Or Jupiter on its pathway of surprise.
Or even perhaps a lonely Rock on its pre-ordained course,
Brighter than the Brightest Star and filled with Titanic force?

My heart was sudden cold,
My body a statue solid,
My vision fixed on this Projectile as through the Ether it volleys

It was gone
And tiny me, galvanised,
Pulled Slabs of Rock o'er my head
For sure This Beast had been before,
And soon will come again.
But 1'11 not be found abed!
