ODE TO GODDESS

Walking through life whistling,
Laughing, loving, glistening,
Accepting paths because they call,
No question...
Roll with my light's flavor:

Recalling parts of energy that permeate my everything,
I understand that all I am from start till after: Goddess.

Life spawning, universe awing, reason to strive forward: Goddess.
World-shaking, love making, essential, elemental: Goddess.

Ancient, ancestral sources of wisdom and might,
Eternal Gaia, the bringer of life.
Isis the mother, Aphrodite the lover,
Indian Devi, Ishtar and there's Mary.
With co-feeling earth-sense that completes "we,"
Brilliant energy flowing, it's love, their Shakti...

Admitting, from time to time,
Forgetting, slash, ignoring,
This source of our divine potential,
Despite the constant fixation,
The primary motivation...
Forgive.

Such selfish inconsistency,
Constrains a more beautiful collage from forming.
Fuzzy vision, colors faded,
Chained, culture abbreviated.

Still, while walking whistling, glistening in my light,
Can be seen a transformation to man, potential bright.

See the flowers sprouting through the cracks of
Early concrete surroundings and,
Survival tactic instructions formed through affirmation and hugs.
Grown to stand with green life, and blue skies and seas,
I see through the gift of eyes of she who shaped the good in me.

My mothers, my lovers, shapers of all.
Glowing Goddess, of ancient goodness,
Fury filled with temperance
Lightning rod and calming touch you will me...

Wisdom flows both ways, but Goddess born the idea of me.
Taught me learning, raised my spirit,
Up towards forward, self-actualization!

As long as you're strong the world has a chance,
As the primary source you balance the dance.

I treasure your sustainment of life and love,
And evolution towards truth,
And keeping me free.

And, with appreciation of your respect
For my worth and regal manner,
I know you are the keepers and protectors of this thing.


Happy Mothers day to all the "Are's," "Will Be's" and "Someday" life-bringers out there. And thank you to Goddess for the start and helping me stay in the right...
