Release Poem by Justin Aptaker

Logos, release me
   from this moment
release me, by your Spirit
   and in your Spirit of Genos

   Muses, who reveal yourselves
the Olympian daughters of the Most High
          reveal yourselves now to me
   and teach my tongue to sing
   of those fabled deeds of old
 and of the greatest of men and gods

 and by my song
 let me teach old men to forget
                  their sorrow
                  in a moment
and to comfort those who grieve continually
