Ancient The drunken swiftness of the waves Calms me From a reverie of unpredictable marches A lost song of victory and losses As she possessed the divinity of all things Things high and low lay bare The stratum of bounty Hastings The unnameable spoken mantra, the soma of life Lying all over the fringe of all things Knitted in a divine mastery I knew the ancient waters, the green scenery As the rivers comingle with the ever chanting song fare.
