I called upon Lady Justice and my birth sun of Libra to help me to see all sides and facts clearly. I wore my hat of Saraswati as I researched for endless hours, dug through miles of false media, until finally I saw it -- the bright qualities and the severe flaws of both presidential candidates.
Is it worth it to live this way?
She ponders some days
Why can’t I grow a shell like the crabs and turtles that live here?
Why must I be so vulnerable to the Sea?
Summits. They are always just beyond the next ridge. Just beyond this next heartache. Just beyond the unbearable loneliness. Just beyond the empty loss.
Flood our parched spirit with life-giving water
and tears that soak, crack, sprout, and root
old shriveled up seeds of consciousness
to once again honor the source of our food
I want to dance with Kali’s shadow, in the darkness with my eyes closed.
I want to feel into this power with tentative talons, self-conscious of my raw unbound body.
Bowing down, the sun was moving aside to allow the moon to rise.
Rays of golden light slightly trickled through the branches above and cast a glow
on my road to love.
