Poetry is strange

Ive never written a poem in less than 3 minutes. Its like they write me. I never censor them or rewrite anything, ever, so when I post poetry here please accept that it comes directly from the heart, with no reasoned rewriting, fune tuning, making it anything other than a raw snapshot of experience.

I wrote this this morning about the Goddess conference.

Its called Snake Maiden

I slowly

Dip my toe into your pools of awakening

She glides on her belly towards me and coils at my feel

She hisses deep and slowly, protector, guide, mother

I breathe

Frightened I rub my eyes

See the women before me dance, weep, age, grow

See them play like children, goddesses awakened, their bodies decorated with fine silks

Watch the tears flow into your pools

Guide me through the rolling hills of your body

Walk with me as I climb the steepness of your hips

Watch over and protect me as I play in your garden

I draw strength from your earth

We dance in the moonlight by your fires

We awaken at night

We dance in delight
