Worthy of Wanting

Take  breath
To take a moment
To disentangle the tendrils
Of my yearning, thrumming heart
Sing another song
To silence the ear worm's
Seductive serenade
Tilt my trembling chin skyward
To send the tears sideways
To minimize the look of my
Melting heart as it rains down my face

Take a breath
To take a moment
To adjust the chain mail
I will not remove
The sentimental beast whose ion wings
Buzz electric, banging against the cage
my ribs make
I choose to enter this battle,
And all others, with eyes bleeding
Love bits- a true warrior needs knowledge
of where to find her truest power.

Take a breath
To take a moment
To call the silence
The Morrigan chooses her  own
With haunting clarity and pure power.
I am focusing myself beyond
Myself
Connecting and tying the tatters
together, a weaver of grief wool
Into a tapestry of My Strength
The red cinnamon strands no stronger
than Brigid's whisper quiet creek call

Take a breath
To take a moment
And recognize
Who you really are
Queen goddess warrior child widow mother crone
You are one with every flame that ever danced
With every breeze that set leaves to spinning
You are one with every ocean wave and puddle
With the stones and clay foundations
Beneath all our feet.
You are already chosen
Worthy of wanting
Part of it all

Even when  the words
have not yet been spoken.

Even when they never  will be.
