The stars sew the seeds
of rocks that hold
the seeds of ice crystals scattered
like seeds of rainbows that
carry rain seeds falling
into rivers where fish
swim and splash water seeds
onto flowers along the riverbank.

Amongst the flowers are hoofprints
of a white horse carrying
the Goddess Brigid
in a long silver dress
holding her staff high—
she has tied to it a string
of cool white sparkling
stars that stream
across the lilac-dawn sky.
