White Shell Woman

What sacrifice made to White Shell Woman,
who shed tears
of fire.

She grieves for our lust for power, our mad
desires
unchecked.

Her serenity belies the fury of
her tears.
We fear to look on her dark side,
and find our own shadow life
Unlit by the stars
where our lives play out.

She weeps beyond the Milky Way,
unchanging.
