Smoking incense of prayer floats
throughout the medievalprayerroom
of Hildegard's soul as
highbrowed, and passionately mystical,
She views the Trinity with interest
and juggles the gifts they bring
her with ease of vision and
word and writing;
She is skilled in the arts of herbs
and spiritual direction
but most skilled in the
arts and movements
of the soul
Smoke surrounds her inner being
with mystery and fragrance
and understanding and
union and
love.
