we make the journey past jilgi in the pre-dawn chill
atop granite tors
a star filled horizon
illuminates the pacific night

but four are steady – constant glow
they be not stars
but born of more stable substance
mars - jupiter - mercury - warriors and fighters all
venus - your singular feminine beauty legendary
[as if by magic]
you have come together as four
and from the shore - we welcome you
slowly rises the orb that brings light to the world
and licks the land with colour and form
prismic gold
this glowing light
that gives such delight
[as if by magic]
that an infant chortles with pure joy
