Artemis By Zella Bardsley Let us gather at your roots
and see
those blessings of your majestic fruit
and seeds.
Show us the power to be strong and sinewy
as your finest willow
And to glow with the inner beauty of
your loveliest bud. Let us bask in the sunshine
and bask in the reflection,
the mirror, at night.
We sit at your gnarled roots
the serpent's tongue tickles our thighs
and, contentedly we satiate
that thirst
for your knowledge. Let us drink
hat tincture of healing you provide
that elixir
of truth, of beauty, of love.
And when we can see no more
let us not despair, but
continue to speak of your truth
throughout time. Blessed be. —Zella Bardsley |
