(A birthday sketch by Stevan Barfuss)
Fire and water, Within elemental eyes And the presence of Ages, She plays with The energies of death And life,like A child in a sandbox. Playing the game, Flowing with pain and the tumult- Staying Open to receive the Blessings of The Mother, she greets All of the living things, And mourns their pain, celebrates Their joy. Digging her toes into The earth, She channels love, Acceptance, The place where all can be Held.
