Praying
on Ishtar’s Gate, Inanna’s song
(Variation on
the Anapestic Tetrameter, Da-dom da-dom dom-da- da-dom )
Praying
on Ishtar’s Gate
This is a song
we can’t sing twice
Ishtar!
Shall I roll the dice?
Is love
as divine as the Sky?
Or is
nature herself a lie?
For no
other god I shall pray
You alone shall guide my way
Your fire
is the eternal song
It may
dim, but is never wrong
She can
heal the earthly fears
With a
drop of divine tears:
Fate is the one who shall learn
To play
by our rules this turn
This
night , there’s no place for chance
The stars
above will light our dance
The
power of time will be gone
When the
moon shall hold the sun
This is a song
we can’t sing twice
Goddess!
Shall I roll the dice?
Is love
as divine as the Sky?
Or
is nature herself a lie?
