Maiden. Mother. Crone
Stay with me
You are what I have left
As we pass through these forgotten realms
Always remember this
My love for you is more than just a gift
It is my honor and you are my Bliss
You have given me so much more than I ever have wished
When you came to saved me from a fate worse than death.
Falling into the forsaken abyss
And there in the wasted swamp lands of sorrow and despair,
That is where you found me there
Laid waisted by torment and fear
Yet I grew tried of feeling lost
I became tired of letting go
I was tired of wasted breath
And I was tired of nothing left
So in my forsakeness
I came face to face with the torment within.
As I watched my world grow darker,
tainted by the pains of lives past lived
Tormented by the filth of lustful men
How my heart was broken,
shattered beyond being fixed
My world was in a shamble and my soul was a utter mess
Slowly wasting away by the sorrow within
My light was fading as I was taking my final breaths
Haunted by the horror I had lived
Yet in my final hours you wouldn't let me go,
You wouldn't let me slip into purgatory grip and leave me to face the terrors of a certain death
So you reached out to me and renewed my strength
Upon the banks of the River bed
That strength got the better of me as decided to live
How I needed a change,
a reason to be
So I took a breath and I begun to breathe
this overwhelming sorrow would not be the death of me.
So in my darkest hour
I reached out my hand
Not knowing you would reach out in return
Yet there you were
Standing fearless in your despair
Who brought peace to my heart,
A Warrior like me
who was also once bound by hurt and grief
But needed to be freed from its suffocating grip
With your saving grace
I was no longer alone
And with saving grace
I found a way to go on
And In the silence of that night
My broken heart somehow survived
I set out to find home
And with every stride
You stayed by my side,
Faithfully walking with me in my life
And what a privilege It has been
To have you as my friend
Goddess of my heart
Maiden, Mother and Crone

Thank you Po
That really means a lot to me. This poem I wrote briefly touches on my attempted suicide many moons ago so this poem is very dear to my heart.
It's still only a working progress. I'm sure I could do better with it.
But thanks again for your kind words. It's so inspirational to hear you say that.
Much love and light to you always.
