Hekate Haiku

Over the last few months, a rambling essay has become a haiku (mostly 5-7-5). The first two lines of each verse are about Hekate and the world, then a dash indicates a momentary break in my focus on Her, while my thoughts turn to my separate self.

Precious Ekáti
Hills blush in the morning light
   —I stand in rev'rence

Inhabit Your throne
“Io Heka Io Ho”
   —I beg Your guidance

Bestow your wisdom
Revealing blessings unseen
   —Pure prayer presented

Unending grace flows
Your touch transforms all beings
   —And my hands...

Keyholder, Sorc'ress
Torch-lit paths disclose delight
   —Honor You in deeds

Essence of the world
Light and darkness of this realm
   —I go beyond now

Together we stride
"Eghosé ethelésa"
   —Evermore, will I follow
