Painting "That Which is Sacred," from the "Lands Beyond" gallery.  Copyright Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, Shadowscapes.com, 2002, 2020. All rights reserved.

This painting inspired my poem Sacred Vision.  The poem is one of the Elanthian Love Songs - A Bard's Tale.

(Sacred Vision)

that which is sacred in this Land
is not to be found through a temple door
is not to purchased or bargained for
with silvers or a gemstone

that which is sacred in this Land
is found in the touch of moonlight
is heard in the song of the wind at night
in the forest when I walk alone

that which is sacred comes to me
starlight shivers on my skin
everything peaceful, calm within
my goddess is beside me

that which is sacred comes to me
when I am humble as a baby
when I let go the past, my Lady
gently whispers what can be

welcome vision, to this bower
goddess arms of pearly silver
stretch into the starlit night
drawing down the moon
