I sat in stillness,
balanced my sacred stones
upon the skin of my drum
creating an altar to focus on
Beauty ~ Truth ~ Divinity ~
I began with touching Earth,
groping down through roots,
crawling through caves,
feeling the weight of a mountain
upon my shoulders.
I moved East with my breath,
filling my mind
as it filled my chest,
golden sunrise touching my face.
My Solar Plexus glowed with the
fire of the South.
It blazed forth from my center
as a bonfire in the noonday sun.
The Westward sinking sun
trailed twilight across the sky
as fingers of Spirit trailed through
the liquid of a tranquil pond.
I sat in the center of stillness
and reached out
searching for connection
and opened myself up,
felt myself fill with the
surging Spirit of Divine.
The Lady to my left, Radiant
in her guise of Serene Wisdom.
The Lord to my right, Resplendent
strength and compassion shining
from his Antlered Brow.
We embraced, and three
became One.
I anointed my sacred stones
that balance body, mind, emotions and
spirit, with Divine Bliss
and anointed a crystal sphere
with the Sacred Spiral
so that my gaze is drawn within,
a reminder,
always to seek spiritual
Beauty ~ Truth ~ Divine
that dwells within.
