Pray for Peace on Planet Earth

Continuity

The life electric blood
that flows
through the common tribes
of all continents,
shares the same Mother Goddess.

Isis of Egypt…. are you dearest in my prayers
                    because of an ancient reincarnation?
In Africa,
womyn offer their prayers to Mawu,
while in India,
incense burns for Kali.

Your energy does not change.
Eternal wings of fire
that once assured peace and
harmony for ancient matriarchies,
are once again revealed.


Strength of our Amazon Sister
sleeps.
Her power waits
on every female tongue.
She opens our eyes
to awaken the truth of our vigor,
turns us inward
to learn of Her courage.

Take it! And knit that heart of vision
to the womon next to you.
Our nets shall catch the world,
returning
us to the natural order of life,
returning
the female spirit to
power and adoration.

Let us celebrate love;
weld our shoulders
to carry one another in this new era,
where our mutual strengths become boundless,
as the Goddess’ light grows fiery
in this storm of patriarchy.

Goddess energy, hot and wise
enough to burn our chains,
their bombs.
…….SHE flows through us like melted butter.
