Goddess Manifest I am the woman The Lady of the Lake The embodiment of spirit Powerful and Knowing I am the image The Spider Woman Crone I too am ancient Always growing I am the Priestess The keeper of the light Daughter of the Moon Full and Glowing I am the Mother Protectorate of life Giver of energy Harvesting Sowing I am the server and the wine within the cup The final destination The coming and going I am within you and everywhere without My aura wraps about you Moving and Flowing I am the sunlight and the cool evening shade The raincloud and the windstorm Breathlessly Blowing I am one with those Who hold me in their hearts All are equal in this life Neither owed Nor owing Flock to me children Hear your Spirit's call It calls you back To cradle you As one: at peace with all —Sharon Skinner 1995 Sharon Skinner |
