Hesperia...

Star of the West...

Sister of three,
daughters of the Evening Star...

Golden Apples are your gift...

Your open womb births imagination...

and sweet longing
for life beautiful emerging...

in amethyst nest of kissing stones,
kissing the earth,
touching this place of being
here,
now...

and dancing into life...

this moment of heart meeting heart...
