Capricorn

Capricorn on little goat feet
  with the tail of a fish from the sea of all wisdom,
  Surefooted, determined, climbing with purpose
to reach the highest mount, the most attainable goal
so to find solitude and soul searching
for the integrity to lead
all who see her perched on ledges.
the prime mover,
the way shower ,
step by step, cautious and sure;
building a foundation strong and secure
to support successful ventures.
a matriarch for the world
learning when to lead and when to let go
responsibility’s reign,
an individual
on a spiritual quest
aware that her steps are seen
and standards set
and in the end
we are one.
How to live among and be separate
is the noble challenge.

Mars snaps at her heels at every step
barking requests and demands: act!
Saturn cautions act with wisdom.
