Poetry

Goddess

For Milenia she was known
The people were her own
But tyranny contained her
The christian war machine

(Chorus)
The Goddess of enlightenment
She sails across my sky
Every day she's stronger
Her people are returning

Peace and Harmony
A gentle way of life
The Goddess knows the seasons
The ebb and flow of life

In the world that needs her
Many people greet her
Mother of the earth
Mistress of life and death

Harm none is her credo
It really makes much sense
For if you harm another
You really hurt yourself

There really are no other rules
But to Live and Laugh and Love
Life should be fulfilling
And not an ascetic trudge

As the season turns
And earth returns to slumber
The promise she shall return
When the wheel turns a little more

The Goddess is eternal
Her patience is unbound
When we know the Goddess
Our life is turned around

Our mother is the Goddess
She gives us life and death
But death is never final
Its just a time of rest

She doesn't want our worship
just wants us all to grow
And reach our full potential
Know truths the Goddess knows

Wheel of The Year

A day is a fixed point
A moment which soon passes
Some say it wont return
Some of us know different
For seasons all come round again
Time has no beginning or end

I start my year at Samhain
I end it that day too
Recalling the past seasons
And kindred we have lost
But I'm looking to the next year
And the promise it contains

Yule time comes around next
In the darkest days of winter
When the nights are longest
Gradually the sun will return
As the days become longer
The earth will awake again

Imbolc is the next spoke
On the wheel that turns my year
The lambs are born now
But winter is still severe
The new life in those little ones
Are a promise of things to come

Ostara is when spring comes
A promise fulfilled, life returns
The open womb of the mother
Brings life to the bare land
This is a time to celebrate
The abundant fulness of life

Beltane is the frolic time
Its the fertility season
A time for love, and more
The earth shows her fertility
When the life bursts forth
The flowers of the earth

Midsummer is called Litha
A time of life's abundance
The sun sails high in the sky
The chariot of the god
Giving life to all things growing
Soon the harvest will be here

Lammas is the harvest season
When our crops are ready
We give thanks for the food
This time of gathering
As we fill up our stores
Ready for the cold time

Mabon is a special time
The end of harvest season
Length of day and night is same
A time of balance and reason
The days will now grow shorter
And darker times will come

Mother Lilith

Mother Lilith
Where have you been
Where did they send you
When they slandered you

A killer they said
Their sacrilage great
Vampire and whore
The sukkubus who takes

Soon you'll return
Victory be thine
And the heart of Lilith
Beats in time

Mother creator
Bringer of life
Revived, restored, honoured
The queen of life
