It Is Written

 

 

Jerome Brooke

 

 

High Priestess

                                                                       

Goddess of Jade, Lee Su, cruel messenger of death,

            Behold your servant.

Your maiden sings the pleas, promises of your city,

            Offerings, she brings.

 

Bali, Isle of the Lost, fair land of the Lady,

            Remembers the Goddess.

Bali, of the sea of storms, dark with gales,

            Sends your priestess.

 

Angel of Death, the High Priestess dances,

            Turning in her silk;

Servant of the Temple, covered in black robes,

            Black cloth of Bali.

 

Jerome Brooke was born in Evansville, Indiana in 1949.
