The veil of mist lifted
for a moment,
just long enough
to see what lies beyond.
And this is what I saw,
just this,
over there,
between the poppies and the stream,
hidden behind the hawthorn tree,
with the wide blue sky
arcing above all
and the spring green grass
growing tall and wild:
A portal opened
and spread out before me
were realms unknown –
always to be so
to any too afraid
to venture on.
But I, the Warrior Goddess,
take my fears
and place them firmly
in front of me
staring them down
with black eyes,
and walk on.
(Soul Sister)
I am catching my breath, this is so beautiful. A real call to stride toward our fears.
The images this calls to mind are beautiful.
Striking! Combative. A really impressive piece.
ooh Edith! Expect to find this appearing in the Catalogue darling. This is so powerful Warrior Goddess. I will have to draw you all decked out in armour, ready to go.
This is really powerful!
Wow - this is very a powerful message written with such clear imagery. Thank you.
The last line has so much punch and is a marvelous juxtaposition to the gentle imagery of the flowers and stream. This is one of your best poems.
