Melting from unseen clouds, moving forms
Dark lines dissolve with coming storms
Sunbeam paint flows from an empty sky
Brushing warmth with its dye
Moving squares of sun on my floor
Outside a cold wind, inside shut door
Sun fades blend into lattice shades
Shadow's prison bars a fly evades
From night's garden of stone it came
There bathed in black shame
Osiris dismembered, Amen resurrected
Here shadows in a cross are connected
Yesterday's sun in a gibbet hung
As a pendulum across the heavens swung

- Comment from author about the poem: Osiris an Egyptian god that was cut up and his pieces spread over the world to be gathered up and rejoined to resurrect him. Amen the Hebrew derivation of the Egyptian sun god Amun that died each night and resurrects each morning. Both forerunners of Christ

A wonderful poem from you on Osiris. Another wonderful poem from Mourgana on Odin? I clearly missed the memo today on powerful gods that start with O! A most wonderful piece, my friend. 🌹👏
Thanks Tristan it is the Easter season so a poem to the gods seemed fitting. Spring in the north a time of resurrection and the coming of the sun. I appreciate the read and kind words of acknowledgement. Have a wonderful day
