Relation

I come to you,

sacred, emerging,

from a black hole,

in the red earth of Africa,

risen mysterious

from dark gestational depths,

entry point

for the vision quest I guide.

I merge with humanness,

with time and place.

Beginning a young girl,

so strong and so beautiful,

I Am Virgin,

spark and well-spring of love.

I Am nurturing Mother

of My children, My people.

Awesome Crone,

I know I can't stay here.

I Am dark river,

dark-moon, twin-horned water buffalo.

I use My senses to ground Myself. 

My heart, My breath, My hooves:

beat the womb drum, earth drum.

My tail waves, flag of courage.

I swell, moon-horned lover,

to embrace you in fullness.

Feel Me, the whisper,

answering, renewing,

My wild breeze of freedom,

hurricane brewing.

The thread of My humanness

snaps like a tree!

I unfurl in My powers,

cocoon of the universe,

unwinding, net-binding,

concerted, yet free!
