Literature Text

Fields quiver along tectonic whispers,
deserts turn to paradise

Every time she caresses the ground.

Queen in white beneath crimson halos
diffusing maternal rays across the land.

In the morning she nurses,
in the evening she nurtures,
at night she waves the sun goodbye
already moving onto the next star.
"Persa nella penombra"

Don't go without listening to this poem being read by dysrhythmic's magical voice, it's truly a wonderful experience:

The first three lines really set up the power of the goddess character in this poem. If there's any part of the poem that feels out of place, it's "Queen in white beneath crimson halos / diffusing maternal rays across the land". They don't seem on level with the rest of the poem, but I do think that having lines there is important to transition from the previous part of the poem to the next. So it works. :')
