She followed the Sun
and let her thoughts
pour into the night
as She slowly closed her eyes
and opened her heart
to the wandering
to find a place
silent and still
led by lucid grace
to the water's edge
where She knelt by a pool
as black as any lonely night
as deep as any lonely thought
and She raised her face to the sky
to scry the flickers of wish-filled stars
their song echoing in every heart beat
and in her gentle hands
a moonstone glowed
polished by time and the tumble of the sea
connecting the chiromantic lines
of heart
and fate
and a dream
She smiled as she slipped the jewel
quietly into the water
ripples sparkling before the rising moon
and in her reflection
watching below the dancing surface
a shimmering Koi
to which She offered her palm
the touch of a friend
the acceptance
of a beginning
with a humble gesture
feeling the magic
of transcendence
the peace
of love
