Stargazer – a poem by Tuur Verheyde

Stargazer 


In the centre of the frame 
There sits a woman, 
Wreathed in cobalt,
Her body like a wind chime
Following the rippling air, 
Bending to the music 
Of the greater Whole. 
Unlike her Majesty 
She does not
Seek to master mystery, 
Her magick is symbiosis; 
Her story weaves like a wiggle 
In a wondrous tapestry of clouds; 
The Great Goddess is the wind 
That guides her course;
Her craft, the rain and light that 
Falls upon the soil of 
Immovable minds and 
Draws forth bloom. 
She sits sheltered in a room
Like an altar and a web, 
Each piece of art, of tech, of space, 
A thread to lead her towards 
The pregnant lands that expect
Her spring. She is Ariadne
Of the many mirrored maze, 
Following a multitude 
Of pulsing strands, 
Ever on her way to find 
The Goddess at their ends, 
Or from absence
Bring Her forth.
