I come before You humbly As the candle flickers low With all my imperfections In this land of frozen snow. Insanity arising As we play the ageless war - I come before You humbly As the ancients did before. You Whose heart is endless, You of stained glass crystal mind Who pens the… Continue reading “Candle Light Prayer” – Poetry

“Judgment” – Poetry
You are the Lover, the sweetness of Life The Star that shines forever Your temple sits in ruins, Your priestess abandons You You Whose wings have sheltered us and helped us take flight You blocked the poison arrows Our enemies turned to dust Because of You, there was music and laughter A fire to warm… Continue reading “Judgment” – Poetry

“I Rise” – Poetry
I rise to go further than ever before To feel wind in my hair, shake the dust from my feet I rise to learn wisdom from stories of old Cultivate strength with a body made free I rise to hear songs of the old ones who know To study the past and divine what’s… Continue reading “I Rise” – Poetry
“Creatrix” – Poetry
I pour my heart and soul My body and my blood Into a little piece of heaven You are me and I am you Hell beneath frames expanse above Crescent moon as reaching horns They are harmless here and now Powerless in the face of love I raise you to the stars … Continue reading “Creatrix” – Poetry
