Screaming your name into the winter winds, the emptiness its own reply Marked steps leading to a coven grove, faint crescent moonlight on the snow in the small clearing, round water, clouded starlight watch above Praying by a frozen forest pond at midnight The spirits of the trees acknowledge my presence in their circle I tell them I have come to see the darkest part of night Turning up my palms, opening my hands and my heart and my mind A human receiver, channeling the vibrations of the Earth Sensations directed inwardly outwardly flow into action Collecting branches and pine needles Leaving them at your door, the fresh scent of cool mint and sap Natural balms to sanctify a new reality Priestess, I am sorry. I turned my back on the faith. If only for a span, But for absolute belief, it took me doubt Doubt burnt down the church But the spirit still resides in our hearts, Shakti We felt the flames of the church on fire, we watched as the edifice we constructed crashed and burned around us Invocations of death and pain, I heard and felt the despair from your mouth, my love, a hateful sword ran through me then, and I could only stand still, close my eyes, and die, as it penetrated us Kali came to wipe the unreal away What is left? Benevolent Mother Goddess Redeemer of My Universe You are I am your equal Duad Standing together to face the world Building amphitheaters in the wood to recite inspirations derived from love Let me bring you flowers Let me be your hand Let me be a swan by your side Never leaving you again Dependent on no one Yet interdependent with each others entire universe Our voices merging together into a song By you, divine lover, this universe is borne, my mother, my sister, my friend You are my woman In woman is the form of all things There is no jewel rarer than you

I Came to the Forest to Pray
Screaming your name into the winter winds, the emptiness its own reply Marked steps leading to a coven grove, faint crescent moonlight on the snow in the small clearing, round water, clouded starlight watch above Praying by a frozen forest pond at midnight The spirits of the trees acknowledge my presence in their circle I tell them I have come to see the darkest part of night Turning up my palms, opening my hands and my heart and my mind A human receiver, channeling the vibrations of the Earth Sensations directed inwardly outwardly flow into action Collecting branches and pine needles Leaving them at your door, the fresh scent of cool mint and sap Natural balms to sanctify a new reality Priestess, I am sorry.
