Temperance

Sun pours down

It’s blazing love upon my fields

I feel summer

Kiss my feet

Unknown to my sheep or to me

My fate hovers up in the skies

Suddenly, out of the corner of my cerulean eyes

An eagle descends,

Flings me like a sling On its wings,

And starts to fly

“Ganymede, be with me.”

He seems to speak

The city dims

And turns into a canvas of

Earthly dotted skies

As I ascend, terrified,

To the haven of our immortal allies .
