The Garden Of Darkness
By Anonymous
Calm blue waters, reflect her blush.
The king Albatross,
Knows not why, but knows he must,
Begin his majestic spiral of anticipation.
Upon the ocean they float together.
Her ivory comb preening his weathered feathers.
Opening her shell, she beckons him.
Eat the nectar from the garden of darkness.
Spreading mighty wings,
Sea breezes lift him over her,
Sunlight flickers through feathers,
Shadows whisk its touch,
Her skin undulates in ecstasy,
And she sings a song she never knew.
Closing her shell,
New life within.
