ONCE AROUND THE ZODIAC
FROM THE EBB OF REALITY
IN PISCES
WE ARE TAKEN BY ARIES
INTO A NEW WORLD
FOR WITH TAURUS
HERE WE'VE LANDED
AND HERE WE'LL STAND
POSSESSING WHAT WE SEE
AND NOT LETTING GO
UNLESS IT RETURNS
IN THREE
AS WE LOOK AND FIND
WE NEED DUPLICITY
SO GEMINI
OUR ADVENTURES BE
SET OUT TO SEE
ALONG COMES MOTHER CANCER
GIVING BIRTH
TO KEEP ALL COMPANY
AND WHO
WOULD BE A SHINING FRIEND
TO ALL
LEO
THE LION OF MAJESTY
AND NOW WE NEED VIRGO
WHOSE SENSE OF THE ORDERLY
DOES MAKE
WHAT MANY CALL CONFUSION
INTO A STATE OF SIMPLICITY
SO THAT WHEN
OUR LIBRA FRIEND ARRIVES
TO TELL US
THAT WE ARE HALF WAY THERE
AND LOOKS
INTO THIS WEB OF LIFE
TO SEE
THAT WE MUST BE
THE BALANCE OF WHAT HAS BEEN
AND WHAT WILL BE
NOW
OUR SCORPION
WHO WILL REACH FOR NAUGHT
THAN THAT WHICH HAS
THE RING OF LEARNED DESIRES
AND WHO BUT WHO
CAN PROVIDE THAT DESIRE
IN A FLASH OF ENERGY
THE SAGITTARIAN
WITH THEIR WANDERING HEART
OF FIRE
GIVING A CONVINCING LINE OF LIFE
TO GIVE THE PROVIDER
TO SO MANY
SUCH A PROFUNDITY
AS TO CLIMB
THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN
AND CLAIM THE RIGHT
OF THE CAPRICORN
CALLING UPON ALL TO HELP
IN THE CONTINUANCE
OF WHAT MUST BE DONE
THE AQUARIAN THINKER
THE ALL KNOWING MAN
OF THE MOUNTAIN
SAYS
I KNOW ALL THAT I SEE
AND EVEN WHAT IS BEYOND ME
AND WHAT IS LEFT
SAYS A PISCEAN BELIEVER
BUT TO DREAM
OF ALL THAT CAN RISE
FROM THIS REALITY
THAT THE TIDE WATERS
RECEDE SO FAR
THAT MANY ASK WHERE THEY GO
BUT AS THE WAVE REGAINS
AND COMES THUNDERING BACK
FROM THAT DISTANT PLACE
IT IS THOSE MIGHTY FOOTFALLS
OF THE RAM
THAT SHOWS US WHERE
THE NEW LIFE
DOES REALLY BE
IT IS HERE
BEING HELD
BY THE TAURUS
THOUGHT ABOUT
BY THE GEMINI
NURTURED BY THE CANCER
SHARED AS THE LEO
POLISHED IN VIRGO
DECIDED UPON IN LIBRA
DESIRED IN SCORPIO
THE STORY IS TOLD
IN SAGITTARIUS
THE STRENGTH
OF ALL THAT HAS PRECEDED
IS THE CAPRICORN
THE MAGNIFICENCE
OF THE MIND EXPANDING
OUR AQUARIAN
THE BELIEF IN THE GLORY
IS PISCES
AS A NEW ARIES
STRIDES FORWARD
