A Star In The Center Of The Maze

Poem Commentary

This is an allegory for the bridging of the self to your inner Gnosis during the rites of spring.

A Star In The Center Of The Maze

Upon a May night’s mid arch, the illustrious Seven Sisters

Donned their finest dresses for the season’s starry dance.

They came out to play across the moon’s blue day

And tug upon the Minotaur’s sharp erected horns.

 

Many brave men have died to best the bull,

Within the confines of his vast labyrinth.

To enter proves an easy task, but once in

Navigation is dire when hedging the center path.

 

But herein belies the unprepared’s stark surprise;

Though each is star, in truth too few shine.

For to court the Sisters one must be aligned

With the divine light that beacons forth day or night.

 

A master of the self, is a master of all planes,

Thus any location or terrain transforms as one and the same.

To breach the mazes center is to become your star,

During May’s mighty Sister Dance, as the Minotaur.

Intriguing, this seems a zen-like reflection on introspection. Filled with symbolic imagery and piercing truths this is very nice! "A master of the self, is a master of all planes" You definitely shine here!

It was created out of the theme that Taurus ans the Seven Sister Constellation season in May are timed at the most fertile aspect of the year to give birth to understanding That within us all is a star waiting to shine. We need only find our center.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
