Benzaiten
the flowing muse, lady of the water's music
waterBenzaiten glides on streams and lakes bearing a lute, goddess of all that flows — water, music, words, and wealth; to dream of her is to let something dammed inside you loosen at last into a clear and singing current.
Fragments
A white serpent coils at her feet, and those who follow the sound of her strings through the reeds wake wiser, richer, and unsure why.
On the island shrine she plays where the tide comes in, and lovers who cross together may find her jealous of any devotion that is not for her.
