As Night Gave Wind

As night gave wind,
the chaos cosmology
painted celestial beauty.
Neptune called Rhea,
in robes of grace,
and she formed the Oceanus.

As night gave wind-
endowed with self-motion
along the waters of heaven-
she gave him a hall of children and love,
splendor and spring;
chariots of joy and golden dawn.
