She struck a match
Lit the lamp
Drew in a breath
Experiences compassion
A lovely expression
Flashing
On her face
Time to take on the
Sea
Ascending her mind
To the sky
Like a navigator
Sailing through
All the stars
Possibly Venus and
Mars
In flight
On this night
A precious
Temperance
While circling the
Moon
Comfort in the pleasure
It brings
Sailing up high
Being a captain to this
Ship
Threading it through
A thousand
Illuminated stars
Her heart beats
It’s valid best
Valued
Thankful
A greater joy
Is restoring
Her soul
Happiness
Grows.
