I used a syllabic pattern based on the Fibonacci Number Sequence
SHE
by Mama Kelly a.k.a. Jiastar
she
stands
on earth
grass beneath
her toes now damp with
a May morning’s sparkling dew
she
stands
watching
the sun rise
the sky shifting from
grey to pink purple tangerine
she
smiles
once the
sun rises o’er
the swaying treetops
waking blossoms fragrance the breeze
she
walks
returns
home where love
and family wait
laughter drifts on honey glazed air
she
hopes
that the
sun’s warmth will
thaw her frozen heart
letting Power run through her veins
____________________
This poem was written during a particularly dark night of the soul. My inspiration is the character of Morgaine in the Marion Zimmer classic The Mists of Avalon and how she finds herself at a place where she can no longer feel the Power that she once could and realized that she could no longer claim the title of Priestess honestly.
It is a place that I find myself in both then and now though I am striving for a better brighter tomorrow.
