Tatiana

A Fairy Tree

A lone tree at the center of the earth

Its arms reaching out in embrace

The first child that the world birthed

By name, Tatiana, a maiden of grace.

She watched the seasons go sailing by

And spoke to the stars of life's lullaby

'Twas the dreams they beheld like light

An ambition that woke to make flight.

Gently it stirred in response to breezes

The sounds cupped the leaves like ears

And it began to hear in wondrous melodies

The dawn, the rain and the singing of birds.

First the rook and then the motley others

Chirping, cooing, shrieking and squawking

All day long like a nursery with babies

With Tatie the mother broadly smiling.

And so began the adventure of the world

On wings of delight always on the fly

This way and that it steered and wound

Till it filled the land like rice and rye.

The sun hailed the magnificent sight

And teased mother Tatie with its light

Till she left the tree and took to born

A maiden beautiful and petite of form.

She lived a quiet life in the countryside

Spoke to the birds and the trees till night

In a farm whose produce brought delight

To man her lover and to life worldwide.

Tatiana the nymph grew up to find

Her love of life in things divine

Like the magic of the stars that shine

To gladden the heart and mind like wine.

Its the wine that ties all man to mind

Her mother the lady Tatiana of the vine

Queen of the earth in the life hereafter

Her dreams driving the world together.

Don't you see her my dear in the light?

The world soul, atma of earth and sky

She's there sweetie in the fields of life

And she'll come to you this night in sight.
