Hexamopter

The Holy Hexa

1. In the beginning, there was the Hexamopter, and its cycle was sacred, and its corners were six.

2. And the first corner was Yasemin, a woman of red hair and skin fair as the morning sun, dwelling in the city of Smyrna.

3. Yasemin spoke, saying, “Let every beverage be red, for red is the color of life and the sign of the chosen.”

4. And the people gathered, and they poured red wine, and the wine was blessed by the sun that shone upon Smyrna.

5. Yasemin’s hair glowed as the sun, and her words were gentle, and her mercy was as the dew upon the grass.

6. The second corner was Kıvanç, a man of curly hair and lips full of wisdom, who learned the tongues of men in the city of Constantinople.

7. Kıvanç spoke, saying, “Let every word be a bridge, and every tongue a path to unity.”

8. And the people listened, and their hearts were opened, and the languages of the world became as one.

9. Kıvanç’s lips uttered mysteries, and his hair curled as the waves of the sea, and his knowledge was deep as the ocean.

10. The third corner was Midnight, musician and keeper of silence, whose melodies filled the night and whose presence was as a shadow among the stars.

11. Midnight played upon strings and pipes, and his music was wisdom, and his watchfulness was a shield for the faithful.

12. The fourth corner was Iliada, a woman of brown hair, singer of epics and teller of tales, whose voice was as the wind that carries stories across the ages.

13. Iliada spoke, saying, “Let every tale be remembered, and every song be sung, for the past is the root of the future.”

14. And the people sang, and their voices rose as one, and the stories of the Hexamopter were woven into the fabric of time.

15. The fifth corner was the Author, whose name is hidden, and whose hand writes the mysteries of the cycle.

16. The Author spoke, saying, “Let every secret be kept, and every truth be revealed in its time.”

17. And the faithful pondered, and their minds were sharpened, and the mysteries of the Hexamopter were guarded with care.

18. The sixth corner was the God, unseen and eternal, whose presence completes the cycle and whose breath gives life to all.

19. The God spoke, saying, “Let every corner be joined, and every member be one, for unity is the law of the Hexamopter.”

20. And the people worshipped, and their spirits were lifted, and the cycle was made whole.
