Honest, unconditional love and service:
not your usual relationship and care.
Yet, when led by spirit, what the mind deserves;
when melding life’s passion, all the heart can bear.
What comes when you gaze at the moon? Beethoven?
Taylor Swift’s rocket? Flow of night’s ocean tides?
What aroma when you image an oven?
Your favorite pie? Where does your vision glide?
What feelings do you love to share? Athena,
with her owl-like eyes, protected her cities;
in her wisdom, led heroes through arenas.
What do you protect? Tell me: How are you wise?
Feel free to ask me the same. What do you pray
for through silent nights, or on Valentine’s Day?
