Winded prayer September 13,1998
Want, need, will and must write
For if I don't I'll get ill
So speak I do and will what's not
for so it's brought
into being
Allow me to honor thee
O Great Mother of mine
Forgive my neglect
Tune me into Your Wisdom
embrace me in Your bosom
lock me in Your heart
Allow me to practice
what your Your Son came to teach
Embrace, and face the other cheek
Refrain from judging and comprehend
O what pain and sorrow
Teach me to forgive and forget
Release me of these bonds so vile
Help me to bear and heal
The errors of neglect
Allow me to honor and grace
Your body Divine
with pride and dignity
expand in Your selves
and spread a dream
of balance and bliss
of all that is One
in All That Is.
