inky little fingers
trace lifelines in the sky
while pretty little toes
dance on humble soil 

the middle child 
-sighs-
sweeping chaos from her brow
simply to appease
the mighty lion's roar

the mantra 
of her bones
like blood that runs red
perfection est non facile
seeps from her veins 
staining virgin skin
a simple woman 
no more

still, my young virgo
starry eyed and 
hungry
(for knowledge) 
blows a kiss to the sky
as Mercury's messengers
spirit her away

I chose to do my personal sun sign Virgo. In the Roman mythology, Virgo is related to Dike with is the goddess of justice and the Mistress of All Divine Order. In ancient Mesopotamian culture and Greek culture virgo is a representation of fertility and the harvest. Virgo resides in the 6th house, making it the middle Zodiac, and is ruled by Mercury, the messenger to the god. By nature Virgos are known for their perfectionist tendencies and their general need to help others.

~Latin Translations~
perfection est non facile which means "perfection isn't easy" 
virgo which means "virgin" or "maiden"
