You dreamed this awake World citizens Who know the Earth’s at stake We dedicate Our Lives to you who dared to say We could be so much more, there’s got to be another way.. One day in each of us rebellion rose And Old World B/Orders could not keep us bound Remember when they said the world is flat And one by one we dared to say, It’s Round! The Renaissance of open hearts has come And lucid minds that readily discern One global family dressed in diverse form One common heart to beat in our return The undercurrent starts to overflow Compassion is the warmth by which we see The energy that weaves this planet dance Yet Passion is the driving quality We plant our feet with passion on the earth And passion gives us wings to fly And as we all aspire, Passion is the fire That feeds and fuels each solitary cry It’s time to ground the visions that we brings To firmly anchor in each separate part There’s no one obsolete or useless thing As this picture born of peace brings home our heart. -Corrina Cop Rain Earth Day 1992 "The Church says the Earth is Flat But I know that it is Round For I have seen the shadow on the Moon And I have More Faith in a Shadow Than in the Church" -Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. She's a deva she's an elf shape shifter shadow of her brilliant self rainbow spirit shooting star that's how far she came to find you From the deep and wild green places from dimensions many faces this world now her spirit graces to remind you ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. Healing the Wounds of War, Women & Weans My solar plexus is my Will That ganglia, like the radiant sun Blesses my abdominal organs Of which my womb is one I never felt my distant womb I never felt my will, so still But now my womb is stirred and grieves And here I feel my rising will n ovum Embarked upon her journey from the east She came upon a sperm She did not greet him Did not meet him Willingly in the least No will was there to welcome him No will there to resist The sperm, with all his being said I insist insist insist And she, from her position, Wherever that place was Showed no response or preference, She was amiss, a loss No will was there to welcome him No will there to resist. The sperm with all his being Said I insist insist insist So in he went and settled And there began the sin For sin is separation Here formed with His insistence and Her cave-in Biologically They merged Urged another life to grow And there she grew Holding their predilection strongly To and through Her miserable eviction: The child who chose this union to be born Turned at her birth and stubborn screamed Eviction! And through her primal scream The die was once more cast: I insist insist insist I have no will And have no past.. For 30 years she lived the lack Then slowly slowly slowly She came back. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. Poem moon Silver moon I watched her come and go And with her learned to ebb & flow Sister moon Gentle yet strong Awakened my desire My yearning to belong And here in this arena I trembling take my place To find the sun was always here Waiting waiting for me to greet him With an open welcoming face. The moon - I found her in the South The sun on the lowlands golden cast But my heart o'erflows in the Highland hills My spirit soars as I touch my past Bereft of mountains, wind and streams And heather of the softest hue Moss like rich velvet to the touch I ached for what I never knew My voice belies my Highland blood With southern sounds intone But as I climb and scan the brae I heartfelt know it as my own Highland women fought and lost Foremothers wept with voices hushed Driven from their native land Gave up their homes with spirits crushed O women, lay aside your hurt For daughters of these mountains must Reclaim their spirit borne through time And held for them, a sacred trust O Sisters of the Highlands fair Rekindle now the tiny flame It burned through all the bitter wars Is burning still for you to claim.

The poem beloe is not one of mine but one I have carried with me since I found it 15 years ago It's by Jehanne Mehta (UK) Let the Center Hold When the new octave begins there is a power in the wind And the race is on to be first at the waking And neither party knows the name of this game to end all games And deep inside you know the earth is shaking Then let the center hold Only let the center hold When there are wings on every cloud And I shout your name aloud And you know that soon there'll be an end to waiting When you find you are the key to this nameless mystery And you begin to see the doorway I am making Then let the center hold Only let the center hold When the brilliance of your star shows me just how close you are Though you may have been a million light years falling And it may blow the world apart when you land inside my heart Though the cherry blooms and all the birds are calling Then let the center hold Only let the center hold I am standing quite alone by a secret standing stone And there are faces in the mist banks of the morning And the last fears all are shed from the caverns of the dead And along light rays of dawn I see you coming Then let the center hold Only let the center hold Let the center hold. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. "From her body she spins, From her body she spins, She weaves the world from sacred thread In circle dance, she weaves the web. The rock, the wind, the mind, the soul, All are my relations." |
