From The Womb Of Fire, Love's Unextinguished Light (7) Poem by Captain Cur

What ancient voice resides in those spirits
That lain dormant many thousands of years
Mothered from the womb of volcanic pits?
When eruptions magnified, their eggs laid bare,
Clawing through rock to breathe the Sulphur rich air.
Saviors or oppressors of the human race
Gifted with power both marvelous and dread,
Looking down with stern inquisitive face,
Man named Mavros the Black and Mirren the Red.

Two deathless voices reigned among mankind;
Fear and wonder responding to their cry,
One shrieked with passion, one with fury blind.
Phoenixes from the ash repurified
Breaking barriers separating earth from sky.
When stars flame and reach outward to the sight,
Nomadic clouds softly peek wandering by;
Tranquility glides through majestic night,
Here dragons fly lit by love's unextinguished light.
