Braids weave a wax design

Winding turquoise, teal and pearl

Amethyst and marigold

Vines to emerald leaves unfurl

*

Waves make points, curving curl

Into petals, roses fully blown

Striped by saffron sunlight

Cobalt tone on tone

*

Braids of souls connected

Ancestors woven chain

head homeward together

Until none remain

*

Waves into particles whirl

Condensed illumination

When souls afire triumph

In the light of all creation
