Heart And Mind
Heart And Mind SAID the Lion to the Lioness-'When you are amber dust,- No more a raging fire like the heat of the Sun (No liking but all lust)- Remember still the flowering of the amber blood and bone, The rippling of bright muscles like a sea, Remember the rose-prickles of bright paws Though the fire of that sun the heart and the moon-cold bone are one.'
Said the Skeleton lying upon the sands of Time- 'The great gold planet that is the mourning heat of the Sun Is greater than all gold, more powerful Than the tawny body of a Lion that fire consumes Like all that grows or leaps...so is the heart
More powerful than all dust. Once I was Hercules Or Samson, strong as the pillars of the seas: But the flames of the heart consumed me, and the mind Is but a foolish wind.'
Said the Sun to the Moon-'When you are but a lonely white crone, And I, a dead King in my golden armour somewhere in a dark wood, Remember only this of our hopeless love That never till Time is done Will the fire of the heart and the fire of the mind be one.'
Heart and Mind The Lion spoke to the Lioness, 'When you become like amber dust, No longer a fierce fire like the Sun's heat. (Not love, just desire)- Remember the blooming of your amber blood and bones, The flowing of your strong muscles like the ocean, Remember the thorny beauty of your bright paws. Even though the fire of that sun, the heart and the cold moon bone are one.'
The Skeleton said while lying on the sands of Time- 'The great golden planet, the mourning heat of the Sun, Is more significant than all gold, more powerful Than the tawny body of a Lion that fire consumes, Like everything that grows or jumps...so is the heart.
More powerful than all dust. I was once Hercules Or Samson, strong like the pillars of the seas: But the flames of the heart consumed me, and the mind Is just a foolish wind.'
The Sun said to the Moon, 'When you are just a lonely old woman, And I, a dead King in my golden armor somewhere in a dark forest, Remember this about our hopeless love: That never until Time ends Will the fire of the heart and the fire of the mind be united.'
