Maiden Bride of Being

Daughter Child of the Muses
on the altar of your soul
betrothed now to TRUTH
the light of moons, stars and sun
the song of the many winds
shall you abide
troves, garland, pearls of peace
crest your heart
Maiden Bride of Being
now and ever blessed.

Divine Frenzy

Divine frenzy spirit winds a flame
Willowy and wild waves of elation
Moments imbued by the Creator's hand
The cloak of mortal clothing shed
Flaring fiber of soul newly woven into self
To BE is known
And psalms of praise laud.

This March Night

I hear the frenetic dance of bare tree branches
The chilling wind of this March night howls
The darkened sky lambent with hues of soft violet
Before me a gossamer veil of snow adrift
And chimes resounding laud the wind in song
This March night.
