Mount Helicon by Aleksis Tristan Shaw
Mt. Helicon
Blessed, holy nine Mousai,
With wisdom keen and watchful eye
From sacred springs your glory glides
To land within each poet’s mind,
Endowed with many gifts of Arts,
Your waves of passion fuel my heart,
In gratitude and awe I bow,
For all the bliss that I’m allowed,
Nymphs of Nous, your healing waters,
Pour over my head and bring
Epiphanies inspired, honor
Granted with the right to sing,
I offer up the glory gladly
Gold-gilded in the grace of Gods
The Sovereign Songs of Sirens sail
From the majestic peaks of Helicon
Pt. II
Blessed holy nine Mousai,
I bloom under your solar eyes,
Nymphs of Apollo, nature’s spark,
Divine Olympic alumni
Who occupy the poet’s heart;
Vox populi bespoke through Art,
Surmised from whispers in ecstatic mind,
Daimones channeling human kind
To coalesce and unify,
Our nascent desire transmogrified,
Crystallized in highest order
Under your tutelary care,
The permeation of all borders
That encircle the soul and nous ensnared.
The muse sublime bequeaths a vision
Of gold-winged Eros’ dawning vista,
And the soul receives in wise submission
The gifts of expression and wild abandon.
Hearts beat in tandem, communal drums,
With virtue’s glory the minstrels hum
The healing rhythms - percussive fuse,
In harmonic frequencies suffused,
The anima mundi brought in tune.
