Heart of the Goddess

A poem written based on the images that emerged from my imagination due to some strange music.

 

 

 

At first, Colors emerge

Green, brown, and a sliver of silver,

Then, as if in conscious transformation,

These colors morph, taking on the shape and texture of feathers

Adorning Aboriginals in a festive manner.

 

The drought has dragged on, and finally,

With the help of drums, dance, and incense,

They will summon the Goddess to pour her heart upon them

 

A thousand feet Command a plea

 

“Come Come, Goddess of rain Goddess of Love

We, Your people honor your power

Come Come, sky water, bearer of life

We, your people need you now

From From, Your bosom we originate

From From, your breath we owe life

We, your children beg forgiveness”

 

The drums fade, precipitation the answer

The cycle renewed, her children celebrate until dawn

Their smiles singing to the heavens, wet with the heart of the goddess.

wow!

i love the rising energy in this. the black canvas of your mind's eye... the first notes. the first beats. the colors rising, merging, creating the focus of the dancers.

their song/prayer i found to be great. i loved the repeated "from from" which was very effective and gave it an urgent pace.

the idea of rain being the heart of the goddess was just beautiful.
