College Era Part 4 (Triskelion/Tomoe and Rejecting Eden)

Triskelion/Tomoe

Trinity primal: light, shadow and storm.
From chaos deep, as a whole they emerge;
Rising and falling, their substance and form.

The day star, it shines as the sky’s beacon;
Then it leaves for its tomb of rock, to rest
Trinity primal: sun, moon and storm

Creeping behind the day and night curtains,
neither female nor male, eternal secret
Rising and falling, no substance, no form.

Thundering crash, clouds gather; furious
justice proclaimed in a calming downpour.
Trinity ancient: light, shadow and storm

Messengers of time and tide, all ebbing
through waters, winds or roots of earth. But
what rises, what falls, their substance or form?

United and yet divided visions,
Falling apart and blending together.
Trinity primal: light, shadow and storm.
Rising and falling, their substance and form.

Rejecting Eden

Should I take upon myself
the coil of immortal bliss?
Or give my cold human flesh
a garb of temporal weight?

Offered the fruit of the gods;
between angel and demon.
Do you choose a slave’s comfort
or grasp for exiled freedom?

As the sheep under shepherd
perhaps life will be more fair.
But in lives of endless peace
the waste suddenly appears.

To wander as one hated;
As a seeker of knowledge.
Seeking out the world’s wisdom;
a shadowed strider in sin

Feeling eternal bondage
Are you chained by salvation
or set free in damnation?
Serve heaven or rule in hell?

The choice is ours to but make.
The choice is already made.
To sleep in arms numinous?
Lie awake with ignoble?
