Five Pointed Star

 

We gathered where land meets Atlantic,

That great primordial brine,

From where all life emerged.

 

There we waited for you,

The first point of the family pentagram.

 

From the east you appeared in all your glory.

Morningstar.

Red-pink Flame,

Wearing a golden gown.

 

When we felt your presence

In the swirling sea air,

I knelt down

And placed the dust of your body

In the surf.

 

The waves whispered ho’oponopono

On all of our behalf

“We are sorry

Please forgive us

Thank you

We love you”
