Every evening at twilight
she climbs a ladder
to the stars…
Venus is her guide …
As the Evening star
(who also rises at dawn)
this Goddess of Love
is her Muse.
As a woman who
respects herself,
she stands up for others.
She has learned how to Love.
Giving is as natural
to her as breathing;
every gesture is grounded
in caring for people and the Earth…
She honors the gift
that She has been given –
Life in all its heartrending complexity –
embracing both joy and pain
with equal intensity.
A wise woman, she reflects
a choice we
all have been given –
(regardless of personal story)
to live with an open heart.
Becoming a mirror for
those who might
have forgotten,
her actions remind us
that Love endures…
Postscript: I wrote this poem two years ago with someone else in mind and when I read it this morning I realized the poem was written about me.
We are both lost in the love of Goddess, Sara.
