You are ...

You are the waves

Which caress my shore

Your love washes over me

As you ebb and flow

Take me with you

As you turn to go

To a distant shore

Where the trade winds blow

Carry me away

When the moonrise swells the tide

Drifting together

As our worlds collide ...

Flora

I am the handmaid of the earth,
I ‘broider fair her glorious gown,
And deck her on her days of mirth
With many a garland of renown.

And while Earth's little ones are fain
And play about the Mother's hem
I scatter every gift I gain
From sun and wind to gladden them.

'Flora' from 'Poems By The Way' – William Morris 1834 -1896


The image is an exquisite pastoral fresco of 'Flora', Roman goddess of Spring (Primavera), flowers, fertility and abundance, filling her basket with freshly picked blooms.


Stabiae, a popular resort town of the Roman era. The fresco was found in the excavations of the Villa Arianna and it is now at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. Stabiae was destroyed at the same time as Pompeii, in an eruption by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.


 

Blow O wind to where my loved one is

Touch him and come touch me soon.

I’ll feel his gentle touch through you

And meet his beauty in the moon.

These things are much for the one who loves

One can live by them alone:

That he and I breathe the same air

And that the Earth we tread is one.

-Ramayana
