these four poems comprise my odes to the elements and the goddess who rules over all.
GODDESS OF THE EARTH
I am The Mother of all
I am the forest
And the mountain, older then time
I am all living things both above and
below;
I have nourished my children since
the Beginnings of life.
Forever have you known my power.
Pay attention,
Open your eyes. Before I die.
GODDESS OF THE WATER
I am the laughing brook
I am the life-giving rains
and the raging waters of the river
I am the tears, shed and unshed.
Like the oceans
I have nourished my children
since the beginnings of life
But now;
My Sisters call through the mists of time –
Come; join with us they sing
and as the oceans flows with the tides
so my spirit moves towards the crossroads.
GODDESS OF THE AIR
I am the gentle breeze of summer
that softly caresses your cheek
bringing soothing relief
to a weary soul.
I am the frigid blast of artic cold
I can bring death and renewal
with my icy breath
and send chills down your spine.
I am the hurricane;
strong, angry, and powerful.
When I speak
All men listen and bow down.
I am life itself.
None can exist without me
And yet
You continue to defile me.
Goddess of The Fire
I am vision
I am transformation
Standing on the precipice
I can view both past and future.
Time and hardships have burnt
Away the shroud
And I see clearly now
I am ready to step over.
As the Phoenix dies
Only to rise again from the ashes,
So does my spirit make ready to soar
Like smoke to the heavens
