GEMINI

They stand on the beach of nowhere, a place that the storm of times converge and meet

Lanterns are place for souls that hold light , they cover the beach,many have grown dark, mankind's' lack of remorse

they are the keepers here, face into face, twins, sisters of order and chaos, sun and moon, evil and good , the beginning and the end

they play games of child blessing, waiting, they get lost in their own thoughts

reflecting prism of light, shadows of the darkness

they sit on the ground, unaware of their own self reliance

Gemini finds a stone, smooth from the ages , cut deep from the waves, a wind shutters pass, more souls leave, they whisper we are at the end there is no other way

it is time to make craft;their hands make mirror configuration, ancient symbols only they know

they know the rhyme, they know the language

he is coming, summoning him,Gemini throws the stone, the ocean of existence swallows it as to confirm they have been acknowledge

the chant of ages begins -----the stone is the light, the mocking birds take to flight, the moon is the goddess of the night , time is an illusion,and the end is just the beginning

each of them place sand in their hands. and let it fall in the water

they look at each other puzzled by what is forming, the water gives vision, and one laughs as the other cries

in the distant a water Sprite tornado emerges, Gemini points, and they start to jump up and down

the twins stand in the water, waiting for salt to emerge, and begin

he comes out of the ocean depth like a child born, naked, black wings stretched out, he is so he can be

long black and silver hair billow es in the wind, he places his feet on the sand, the movement of time

Gemini hands him his clothes: shirt, jeans, hat and razor

he walks ---Gemini follows

in the distant the cries of war echoes like a lone wolf

one of the twins giggle, as the other looks scornful at her counterpart

salt understands the storm is beginning

emotional baggage of those who have been left behind

Gemini skips ahead; they stumble on the castle maker, old as if age is his disguise

he goes up to salt and places his face in salts hands and weeps a thousands tears

Gemini is moved and complacent by this open show of emotion

salt holds this man tears and swallows every one; the man goes back and builds again

Gemini kicks at his attempt; salt knows this is their way

their destination is the city

where human existence lives their lives in the banality of the day

their journey was hard, the terrain complicated

on the outskirt of no name city, they stop at the church of the gods of many names, people are praying---a wedding is taken place

Jesus and Lucifer are sitting in the front singing hymns of long ago dead rock and roll musician

Buddha is in the confessional, while Ali is playing jacks with the archangel Michael; choirs of the many Hindu gods are singing Ava a maria

Gemini goes up to the alter, to sacrifice

salt goes up to Jesus and Lucifer to ask how father is and they answer at the same time as if they were twins of the same time and reality

during the wedding ceremony Adam reabsorbs eve, and now they are one

in the same fashion that explains a lot

they leave the church of many gods

Gemini knows they our the beginning and the end , the past and the future

the city is filled with more confusion, more chaos, then with order there is a lack of balance

Gemini finds her sister is fading

salt knew this would happen for a while

things go from bad to much worse
