Beneath the Aegean

When all Earth's seas shall levitate,
Draped dark within the skies,
Upon our eyes shall starfish dance
Their waltz of blind surprise.

The sun will rise within wine dark
As argonauts imbibed,
Whose drunken arms embrace that sleep
Where Phaeton's horses stride.

Upon all Earth's wind-sanded shores,
As dolphins learn to soar,
All we were upon the land
Will be locked behind the doors

Of ivory and chastened gold,
That the mystery solved complete
Shall never til the seas' long fall
Wake mariners from their sleep.
