The Mother

While gazing at a waterfall,
yet meeting within reflection.

Crescent jewels of the sun,
floating in the Radiance,
coolness and moon-tides.

What measure can I give you of their beauty?

While sitting on the beach
and beholding the ocean’s voice,

embracing its profoundness,
flaming hymns of Love and Death.
Knowing the Word, silenced by sunset.

What description can I give, of this boundlessness?

While residing in the forest,
breathing into surrender,
trees, sky, heart-voice opening
my songs to me, in sweetness of Forever,
joyous dawning, our wish beyond never.

Musing memory’s endless play,
of floating whispers,
and secrets on the wind.

	Yet,

A child wanders,
amidst troubled phantoms of a sleeping light.
Yesterday’s regrets, the projection of tomorrow’s fears,
						has
known.

Yet through all this,
the maiden forebears the chase.

Darkness unfolds, solitude of space.
Yet she calls out, to Renewal’s Flaming Hope.
Her prayers are fire-wings, dancing in the Vastness,
the day in which vanquished dreams,
restore their unknown voice.

Child wanderer of my spirit,
Sunrise Queen of Life’s annihilating and ceaseless Eye,
Prism-faced goddess; metamorphosis,
oh Womb of Mastery, know our Resurrection.

Autumn sunset voices visions,
as reeds and rivers whispering silent,
invoke amongst birds of tender flying.

She is forgotten,
yet within her gaze, 
opens hidden flowers,
resting silent stars, in soft horizons of fire.

Evening and its dreams descend,
encompassing of a dying sun,
the dim forest awakening, 
responds to twilight’s desire.

The calm stormings renewed breath,
gives forth birth of Lunar Flame,
as twisting tongues of silver rapture,
surround the Stellar Goddess.

Child of Time’s gesture,
awaken to find your Midnight Fire.

Shall there ever be a passion spent,
that your throbbing soul shall not renew?

Or a dream that your tides
	shall sun embrace?

Oh secret and final hour,
lost vision,
chaos fountain of primal memory,
thee do I worship.

(III)

Oh Deity of countless transformations,
Menstruum of Deathless and Everlasting Change.
Consort of the Unseen,
Divine Harlot of Soul-Ideation. 

Triple-faced Dakini,
Deepest fruition,
Holy Nymph of Living and Renewed Joy,

Tara of Heavenly Embrace,
I behold your beneficence,
in the Sacred Tides of Mind.

To envision Your continuum,
may I know Your Light.
