Light Bearer - A Poem by Saeihr K Williams

                               Behold,

                      the fair white serpent 

Entwined within the tree

The glowing fruit he offers

So beautiful and free

Prometheus beside him

And Eris do I see 

Laughing in the distance

Crying in the sea

Do not fear the gift they offer

An apple made of gold

“                      "kallisti” writ upon it

                       In letters deep and bold 

                   Don't fear the fire it gives thee

                 Or what knowledge it may hold

             That the Gods would fain deny you

                 But, lo, those gods are old.
