Look now, on our scene black night appears,
A night to waken inner fears,
For see the planet that shines so red-
Mars: the planet of war and dread!
See who stands in the shadows there?
See my trembling rainbow bear?
What did he find in the rocky core
Of boulders strewn by an ancient war?
Like a droplet of blood, a precious stone
That he holds in his paws, in the dark, all alone.
For Tuesday is named for the god of war:
Tiwes! But fear not, tremble no more ......

on to Tuesday dawn
