Empress

A return to my sequence of Tarot card themed poems...

Empress

Isis, Earth Mother of Aegyptus
Inherent rendering of fruitfulness
An empress crowned with twelve stars
A Zodiac of Avatars
Here seated on her stately throne
Perelandra rising all alone
To show the enthroned mastery
Of earth's desire, simplicity,
That ever holds the world aloft
Above her garments, rich and soft
Imperious, she shows this face
Splendour ruling as her place.
