Hestia - Ekphrasis
Poetry response to 'Hestia' an original painting by Furrah Syed

Enarmoured in Love, of who we will become,
Endowed with wings of golden spirit.
We must not fly too close to the sun,
Like Icarus, a moth,
Ecstatic and brazen,
Longing to be consumed within it.
Be humble before Hestia
and a Phoenix will be crowned,
She is the light within us.
You can see her, you can find her,
In the eye of the storm.
She'll be the calm within the chaos.
Blessed are the brave,
Who are turned over by the tides,
Rippling through, the Emerald oceans of infinity's mirror.
Roughing out the waves,
just to watch the horizon afire
and to taste the feathered sun beams glimmer!

Passionate about human connection and our interrelated connection to the universal experience we call reality.
I have a love for discovering beauty in those moments.
