Virtuous Sister

At the well of waters proceeds the virtuous one.
I see the immaculate beam of truth in the lamp of her soul,
The delight of perfumery uniting mind and matter’s whole.

There, by the fallen pitcher
Her eyes search for simplicity in the distant cloud.
Beneath it all, the patterns of embroidery she works on
Loosens and then reconnects
With the heartbeat that is her dream’s pulse.

In her I see patience among rowdy wills.
Her era required a new kind of rose,
Pursuit of gold, no excuse for bronze.
But in her eyes I see a gaze
At the quiet splendor of the hills
At the vision beyond the clear horizon.
