Inspiration From Below
(by TS for my beloved daughter Tarini)





Sitting by my parents' pond
I raise my eyes to heaven
A child as sweet as angels' bells
Draws my attention down





Seeing the ground beneath my feet
I think of Anubis, think of Kali,
The Native American Underworld
And ask myself, how often did I miss out
Seeking for wisdom in the wrong places





Seeking on Father Sky's body
When the secret I sought were heald in the womb of Mother Earth
How often have I looked to Nut for inspiration
When Geb holds the seed to plant wisdom in my heart





The angel child laughs
Beaming in a myriad of colours in the sunlight
The green around so luscious
Yellow blossoms radiating like the sun
The king of frogs spits water in my angel's hands





My sweet angel child
So careless and happy a creature
So in the moment of NOW
Awed by a butterfly
Into recognizing divinity





Wish, I felt this childlike joy
Wish, I could let go so easily of things past
To embrace the moment





A stone Buddha sits serenely
Looking out over murky waters





But I want to dance withe the tickling rays of the sun!
