Voices of Women of Spirit and Faith
I dreamt…
may we walk wing-ed and wild
may we sit on the throne’s of our wombs
embody the mystery and power of creation
may we enter the stream, on horseback and foot,
wade like an unbroken chain of stars through the night
guiding brave souls who’ve lived in hiding and learned forgetting
beneath us great mother lies,
legs and arms spread wide across the creek bottom
big breasted, long hair flowing
we stand among her waters
we are here.
we have always been here
and we have found the line that does not end.
we will stand, always in this water
lifegivers.
come.
we call the council.
