5 Lamat
Yellow Self Existing Star
My Soul is a Fire
Hot and wild
My Soul is a River
Like the River Nile
Full of splendor and story
Indifferent to Propriety
He flies through the Night
From Hippocrene* on
Helicon**
My Genius –
My Pegasus***
My wingèd White.
*Hippocrene (Fountain of the Horse): A spring created when Pegasus kicked Mount
Helicon, sacred to the Muses (goddesses of artistic expression); regarded as
the living water of the soul as well as the source of poetic inspiration.
**Helicon: A
mountain in central Greece; regarded by the ancients as the abode of Apollo and
the Muses.
***Pegasus: The
winged steed that sprang from the decapitated body of Medusa; symbolic of
flights of creative imagination.
