Close your eyes. Let her lead,
she who steers the stars.
No need to fret about form,
fashion, the cut of your suit.
No need to fret about the steps,
or the right thing to say.
Her unseen strands the chords
that conduct the cosmos,
orchestrating the structure
of galactic superclusters.
Listen to the music of her gravity.
She will let you lean on her.
