This mystical cup is not a masculine device,
And you, as a rusty, errant knight,
Can search for as long and wherever you like.
But the vessel you want,
Is in me.
It is the center of all things, it is the beginning.
It is where all life emerges.
The waters are cool, calm, healing and heavenly,
And once you have tasted them and been to its core,
You will know the bliss of being in a sacred place.
