Shaman's Grotto

In these healing waters of blue you will learn peace
This sacred grotto of Shamans who first came to heal here
Passing down rituals from natures' beginnings

Kneel before my alter and drink from my goblet the nectar
of my holy waters where the rites of our fathers lay
Feel yourself open like a new spring flower growing ever wiser

Now slip into the charged waters of our universal truths
I will caress your skin and ease the tension from your brow
Float serenely upon my back as I cradle your desires

Slowly you unlock your chained heart from the miseries of your world
You are released from your despair as gently as a mothers' touch
against a child's cheek asleep against her breast

Now rise through my body, gathering moonbeams for strength
Feel the tranquil energy flow outward to warp around your shoulders
A secret cloak passes to you from those before your time

I believe, Jeanne, that you are a wonderful meditative soul, who understands universal truths and shaman much better than the masses. Your poem expresses such a love for universal truth.
