Reverence

In the quiet moments 

you come to me 

Bringing wild offerings

Of flesh, fur, and gold

Force of wonder

with trickster energy 

Seducing my attention 

unveiling a new mystery

Shapeless on your palette, 

a surrendered swirl of possibility 

Each stroke of your brush gives shape

like Venus, I rise 

Incinerate what was

There is no place for her here

Serving long and faithful 

Departing without fear

Wild at heart, 

steadily power grows.  

The serpent’s strike ignites me 

while I am plunged into the depths. 

Emerging with reverence, and,

like Venus, 

I rise
