I am the Goddess of Fire

I am the God of Air

 

I am Brighid and Nuada 

I am Saraswati and Varuna

I am Shiva and Shakti

I am Hestia and Appolon

I am Sekhmet and Shu

I am Pele and Paka'a

I am Freya and Njoror

And many more

 

My waters overflow like lava and my tides are powerful gusts of  inspiration

This is the time of Fire and Wind

This is the time of Lion's Roar and the Bearer of Vision's Mind to claim their own

This is the fullness ripe with intention and will

This is the brilliance of sun's glare that set's creation's plan ablaze

 

I have stood in the anchor of the mountain and dove into waters unknown

I have bathed in the healing stream of Moon Mother's grace

I have come from the darkness and welcomed the rising of the dawn with hope and courage

 

I have been silent and I have screamed my truths to land upon deaf ears and unkind tongues

My heart has been heavy and grief for life lost has been my constant companion

My will has been tested and courage has slipped through my icy fingers more than once

My mind has been cluttered with reality and illusion and neither has offered comfort

 

I have held onto a slippery slope of

My Words

My Pen

My Rage

My Sorrow

My Heart

 

My Logic and my SOUL have felt the disconnect of spirit and body

What I held to be my truths

What I clung to in faith

What I envisioned as my purpose

All have been tested

All have been transmuted in the fires of a breath that has become the cocoon 

Of my metamorphosis.....

 

May we all find catharsis. May we all find healing. May we all find community and 

May we all stand in hope.
