Freedom

Fragrances have always played

an important role in magic.

In the same way they play,

winding through the air.

The Oracle of Delphi used

some form of incense to help her,

in divination of the future.

As the smoke tendrils spiral

into the cosmos, her eyes were opened.

Clear as an Artesian spring she speaks,

in her palms she clasped the moonlight.

In her wake cities fell, sons blinded

by the heartlessness of Gods.

All faced suffering by her decree,

though her tears she hid within

could flood the sea.

Mouthpiece of the Gods,

what sorrow is bestowed.
