Cassiopeia

from cry if you need to by Dana Anastasia

lyrics

Through the brambles I called you back to me with a willow branch and a rosary. Can you hear my name whipping with the wind? Can you taste the pear and the breath of sin? Cassiopeia, point your toe toward the Eastern sea, rend my ship from a piece of your dress, my sail full of your breath. In a dream you stepped to me quietly. Harried prayers for waking washed over me. Like the glowing eye of a watchful beast, some unlikely light rose up from the East. Sun rising so slowly. Impatience weighs stubbornly. Shaken away from dreaming into the writhing of morning light. The heart has a duty to love, a devotion no halting can hinder, but give me the Winter to die like the Lavender. Nothing is always in bloom.
