Caressing me with Incense Smoke,
Queen of the Perfumes,
while basking in the shadows,
of Your beautiful visage.
An offering of tea I bring,
steaming, rising forth,
to meet the smoke of incense,
carried up to high above.

Bast
Queen in the Sands
In the shadows I know no fear
A feline of the night stalks by
A silent child of Heaven’s Queen
Whose gaze rests upon me
And all the little steps I take
Align with her own prints
A throne of gold upon the sands
A figure sits within
Dark fingers play on filigree
Her eyes reflect the sun
A hand she raises before me
An offering of love
I take that hand respectfully
And I join her in the warmth

Mother’s Lullaby
Close your eyes little kitten of mine.
Close your eyes and let the dreams come.
You are tired and your eyelids are heavy.
You’ve had a long day and so you must rest.
I will protect you. I am your Mother.
I will give you all the strength you need.
The nightmares won’t come,
and the dreams will bring you peace,
as you lay your head to sleep.
~Tawa’ubastmut
