Nut

[Dark Muse]

Nut

Sweet mother devour me
sliding within, slithering
across the darkness
comforting and embracing

Let my light shine through you
to dance within your midnight
flesh, father below, take pride
as you watch me, slowly beginning
to roll over, tracing my path.

Moving along the ridge of her back
arched above, for your view
let my light and my warmth
be quelled as she restrains me

In glory as I make my cycle
I shall emerge again
reborn from mother's above
nourishing womb

Now she is cast within the shadow
awaiting until once more she will have me
swallowed whole, that I may die
always to be born anew again

Where father below
and mother above
find their point of entreaty
their love, tender and cold
ordained by natures order

Stretched above
and stretched below
forever joined
and forever parted

Contained between all life made
while unto the night my fires quenched
and brother moon might live again
and unto day, he is swallowed away
to make way for me once more.

Mother holding each unto her
it is the balance of our
unity.
