A Ladder to the Stars
Every evening at twilight
she climbs a ladder
to the stars…
Venus is her guide …
As the Evening star
(who also rises at dawn)
this Goddess of Love
is her Muse.
As a woman who
respects herself,
she stands up for others.
She has learned how to Love.
Giving is as natural
to her as breathing;
every gesture is grounded
in caring for people and the Earth…
