Bull
Solar sense, strength,
Kingly power; horns its bow,
Shooting its sunbeams…
Lunar symbol when
Ridden by the Moon Goddess,
The bringer of rain…
All fecundity,
Sacrifice, chastity and
Masculine patience…
Impetuous fire
When contradicted;
Guardian of the maze!
Deceived by Ariadne
Whose passion for Theseus
Was not rewarded;
Haunted by dreams and
Revelations; the slaying
Of her half brother,
The Minotaur, the
Cause of her abandonment
On the island of Naxos;
Dionysus was there
To pledge his love; her diadem,
A constellation!
