ODE

You are a child of the forest

An angel of the morning

A flower of the tropics

A constellation of the night

You are a woman of golden sunsets

A medium for pure joy

The subject of tall tales

An earthy helen of troy

You are the soul I’ve known in past lives

The face which guides my dreams

An oracle for the gentle universe

The shape of flowing streams
