The Shell

Coral opalescence, smooth and cool
Echoing silence and sea
Silver, salt-rimed moon blossom jewel
A pearled prayer that always will be
Eternal, iridescent
Cup of ocean and earth
Lustrous, luminescent
As the stars giving birth
Complete, incandescent
Spiraled universe whole
Hallowed, quiescent
The stillness of soul

Your words, Winnie form a lump in my throat and bring tears to my eyes.

I have just purchased The Earth Path by Starhawk. I believe it will teach me how to see and be more in tune with the rhythms of the earth just as your poems and painting so often do.

Love and hugs,
Vi
