Ode to Hermes

You lie and you steal.
You fly and you heal.
Ever swift as thoughts,
Ahead of all commotions,
Bless me with your winged motions.

Lord of sheeps, Lord of cows,
Count my body in your flock.
Lord of pipes, Lord of dices,
Play my soul like a hymn
Cast my dreams on fertile grounds,
Call them forth tall and stout.
Angelos, Angelos
Here my spirit pours and pours,
Bring me news of distant shores.
Sail me through life’s treacherous oceans.

Be with me now
Forgive me that I am this:
Everblazing faith, everlasting doubt.
