The Temple of the Goddess
with the waves of her power,
reaches across the universes.
The walkways of warmth
meet the clouds,
as creatures come to rest
upon the footsteps of the sea,
and groups of friends embrace
beneath the pollen.
Proud wildflowers
whisper healing lore
as the sun hides
behind the hills.
Gentle fragrances
clothe the faint memories.
The chestnut-coloured sand
and the shallow waters,
beside the bustling marketplace,
travel through time.
The Goddess, carved in stone,
directs the swallows,
and a woven fountain
spreads into the light.
A butterfly came to rest,
like a beacon on a branch,
as though it too
had sought
a sheltered harbour…
A cyclist passes by us,
a cyclist,
smiling…
