The Pegasus Sea

Carla G. Knight 1974 (USA)

Ballad
The swift Pegasus born from the sea
Medusa's blood now runs through thee
The curls on the mane like a cloud burst
with eyes aflame
Soaring through time a wild stallion never to be tame
Zeus had a son, Perseus the one to behead Medusa the job had been done
from the clouds on the sea, magic in foam  scent salty
the very first breath new being to be
