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.
