Sappho Collaboration

"Aiga"

Spangled is
Your skin glistening in the sun
The earth with her crowns
Stretches far and wide
I would lead
You down the winding paths, between stones stacked like
Wedding gifts,
The land was called
Aiga,
A peaceful,
Non-evil
Sanctuary for us from the
Paingiver
In our lives, like
A vine that grows up trees
We
Channel
The emergence of
Dawn
