Beside a clear reflecting pool  
a maiden, naked under the stars  
pours the waters of life and spirit   
upon the land and back into the pool.  

She is the Divine mother  
the womb of all creation  
kneeling between two worlds.   

Behind her are the distant mountains  
of another realm  
and in a tree, the ibis of Hermes 
its wings stretched upward  
while all around her, flowers spring up  
growing like grace  
under the light of the star.  

After life’s upheavals  
sit in contemplation  
beside still waters  
and be restored  
and when you begin again  
to move forward  
let the hopeful light of the stars  
be your guide.
