Goddess

She who seeks shall find,

Tasting the fruit of essence

She becomes alive!

 

O wild wombman, I see the passion

I see the stars in your eyes

The dreams, the hope -- hidden deep inside

 

It took a lot to bring you forth,

Shedding the layers, I so carefully placed around me

Breaking down the walls, exploring myself

Deeper and Deeper

 

Then I realized,

You are me and I am you

Tearing each other down is not divine!

We are cut from the same cloth,

Your demise is also mine

 

You are not a queen my dear

A queen's crown may fall

You are a Goddess

part of the all

Peeling away the layers - like an onion - we are truly ourselves deep inside.

This is beautiful Gabrielle.

I am troubled. Just now I am asking my self about the double standard. It's okay for women to claim their Goddess self, but if a man was to claim his God self...well, we know how that would be received.....

Still, this is a lovely adventure. May your Goddess shine!
