Yemaya’s Waters

A quiet meditation

My eyes reflect Yemaya’s waters,
and rest my troubles
in the goddess’s hands.
She is my closest ally,
a peaceful confidant,
feeling her presence
in the glistening pearls
of truth.

Joined by a spirit,
I praise her legacy,
a guidepost
of integrity,
a resolution
for things wounded
and broken.

Yemaya leads me
in quiet meditation,
revealing her wisdom
in gentle whispers,
and pools of mercy
in sacred streams.
