April 09, 2004 |
There is a Goddess of creativity who lingers
just beneath my eyelids. Serene yet majestic,
she brings to me the inspiration of new life.
The glory and the magnificence of the morning sunrise
is seen through her vision and she touches my thoughts
with its beauty.
I am mortal in a world of mortal beings,
yet I accept this goddess
as my spirit mentor and guide.
She is the feminine within me, sensitive and pure.
Patient and always kind,
she tempers the anger of my masculine soul.
I see, through her eyes, the springtime sparrows,
gathering for their nest, lovers beyond all lovers
as they build a resting place for those yet born.
Twigs and leaves, stems and buds, feathers and moss,
are all taken with anticipation
from the springtime garden on the hill.
Because of her I see all things simple and beautiful
in a world too quickly paced to experience
the wonderment of new life.
The perfumed fragrance of the morning dew
blended with the sunrise warmth of awakening evergreens
is a gift never to be lost from our consciousness.
So thankful am I that she has chosen my spirit
as the seer and the prophet
of life’s recognition and revelation.
I will be her champion and she my muse.
Protecting and defending her honor
and heralding the beauty of her inspiration.
