do you ever get the feeling
that you are part of something
much bigger than you
much bigger than your small little life
do you ever get the urge to talk to the stars
as if they were your most intimate love
do you ever feel the earth's ryhthym
dance out from the soil
charge through your body
and surge through every pore
back out into the universe
do you look at a wildflower
and see yourself
brilliant and perfect and divine
do you ever hear a song and know
the very vibration
the very soul on every note
also resides in your heart
can you meet someone in the street
and with a look in the eye
know
KNOW
that this is a person
you will love now and forever
if you can then you know
you know already
that we are not who we think we are
we are so much more
and we are waiting
impatiently
as the earth bleeds
to be discovered
and if you can't
what are you waiting for?

these words are not mine, and I don't even know to whom to attribute them, but the simple, divine wisdom of this message compels me to share.

"Better a silly girl with a flower than a silly boy with a horse and a stick."

she doesn't know you
she doesn't know what you hide
she doesn't know you already broke
the sacred vow
she doesn't know you
your heart
your words
your song
she doesn't know you
she doesn't know you

the bright path of the glorious moon
before me
oh power-full goddess
of the sky
wise grandmother
please share your secrets
break open my heart
flow through my veins
pulsing from life
a gift
bestowed on me
by sister earth
bring forth your truth
blind me with your beauty
let your beams penetrate my earthly body
swim in the warm light of your being
let me drink from you
grandmother
so i may share your strength
with our sisters who suffer
our sisters whose hearts
are still shielded
from your grace
let me be the vessel for their love
for their desires
let me be hope
dance with me sweet grandmother
sing one more song of joy
and show us the path to love

so i went to see alice cooper
and profundity struck
he brings the unreal
unthinkable, unspeakable acts
drenches them in blood
and evil
vomit and bile
and throws them at our feet


cheering him on
we ask for more
as the truth emerges
these absurdities
these horrific twistings of the soul
are but an imagining
that we can stop
when we want to stop

i wanna be elected

starflower
glowing through the tears
that cascade down your lonely cheeks
brave enough to douse this world of hatred
once and for all
yet too tired to
pick up your sword
this night, this darkened night

dear goddess warrior
please guide me on your lonely path
in your grief
help me shine light
into the mush hole

i am sorry

it's time to take each others' hands
dance boldly with grandmother moon
walk softly on mother earth
cast long shadows with brother sun
to claim what is ours
together

i'm not your muse
so when the time comes
for you to put pen to paper
voice to mouth
steps to feet
don't expect me to be there
on the sidelines
cheering you on
you have to cheer for yourself
when you do that
i will be watching
