Leo and Acquarius

Beast of fire,

Your heart is molten gold,

glimmering just behind the eyes.

Approaching measured but steady,

confident of that which is desired,

the practiced hunter on the open plain

in the full light of day

is a magnificent fighter, battle wary,

who will not be defeated

until he chooses an end.

Distant lightning strikes

Illuminating a path through the night.

Taste the wind. Listen. Follow.

In the grotto, cool powerful arms

carve a cave for you,

deep, serene and blue.

She waits for you

in the light of her smoldering lantern.

Find her, wounded beast.

She will manifest for you,

immerse you bodily into her healing pool

and rest your head on her breast.

She would never deceive nor chain you.

You may freely go, but you will stay.

The hunters will not think to find you here.
