WHEN DESIRE ENDS

 
         Fearful as my death draws near,
        I cry out to Her for guidance.
         Our Mother knows the answers,
         to our needs, She always has.

         Search diamondiferous heavens
         beseeching Spiral Goddess Gaia;
         Deity of the Thousand Names;
         Did my life have any value?

         Divine tongue sweetly answers;
         At the Creation, I was with you.
         I am nature's nurturing soul,
         giving meaning to the universe.

         The beauty of the blue earth,
         pearlescent moon among stars
         From Me all things proceeded
         unto Mother, they must return.

         What you seek, is found within.
         In self; power, beauty, strength,
         compassion, honor, humility,
         and mirth, in your spirit dwells.

         In foolish life, you desired love.
         Now I command your soul to arise
         and come unto Me. For I am She
         who is attained when desire ends

                           SEE

Noontime's blue troposphere
Visualize mashed potato clouds my dear
Wink at twenty trillion stars this night
Gaze by mummy moon's silver light.

Glimpse rainbows in imagined views
Your color palette is within, dear muse.

                           HEAR

Cicadas humming in the afternoon
Howling coyotes laughing at the moon
Thundering heaven's raindrops weep on you
Whispering Morning Doves sweetly coo too.

Nature's music sings lyrically into your ear
Melodies only you, my deaf muse, can hear.
