We who love with incredible candor
manage only through gifts from gods – Eros
calling us to create with faith, ardor
and honest desire. Calliope shows
us how to sing – ecstatic harmony
from our deepest regions of existence.
She passes her writing tablet only
when observing our transparent essence
released through loss and surrender. Wisest
of Muses, she accepts our humanness,
watches us wander, search beyond earth’s crest,
brave diving through oceans to mine for blessed
love. When Poseidon laughs at our folly,
tosses us to shore, we’ve learned what’s holy.
