from the ebb of reality in pisces
that is ramed by aries
into a new world of solidarity
for with taurus here we’ve landed
and here we’ll stay
possessing what we see and not letting go unless it returns in three
only as we look we find that we need duplicity so gemini our adventurers set out to see
of all that there be
while in search along came mother cancer
to give birth to keep all company
and who would be a shining friend to all
but leo the lion of magistry
and now we need virgo
whose sense of the orderly
does make what many call confusion
into a state called simplicity
that when our libran friend arrives
to tell us that we are half way there
and looks into this web of simplicity
to see that we must be the balance
of what has been
for now our scorpion who will reach
for naught than that which has
the ring of learnt desires
and who but who is it that can
provide that desire in a flash of energy
if a sagittarian its not
with their heart of fire burning
to many a wanderer
and their convincing line of life
to give the provider to so many
such a profundity as to climb
the highest mountain and claim
the right of capricorn
to call upon all to help
in the continuance of what must be done and its the all knowing man of the mountain the aquarian thinker
who says i know all that i see
and what is left for me says a piscean believer but to dream of all that can rise from this reality that the tide waters do recede so far
that many ask where they go
but as the waves regain and come
thundering back from that distant place
it is those mighty footfalls of the ram
that show us where the world we seek
does really be
