Sacred She (poem)

Why do you continue to sleep this night?
Like so many others, refusing to awaken
I am losing patience with your lack of knowing
With your avoidance to feel

Hear me ... Come to me

Come back to the fore mother's womb
Know your place of origin
It is time for you to be born again of blood and lust

Time to drink deep and be nourished by Ancestral breasts

I come to you in the quietness of the night

I come to you with arms that ache to hold you

With a tongue that burns to share with you

All that has been denied you for too long

What is happening to me?

I did as I was told. I followed the formula.

Studied well. Worked hard. Fell in love..
.
Why was it all taken from me? What is left for me?

Doing and not “Being” leaves no time for the sacred

You wonder why the emptiness grows inside you?

Let me love you into growing and into knowing

The truth of the fullness of a woman

Time to leave your antiseptic cocoon

Time to touch, to burn, to feel

Time to leave the shackles of other's man made rules

And dare to create your own from having lived

So many fear the dark.

But water and fire gather in the dark places below.

The brave and bold have learned to go there eagerly

They run with pulses racing.

Their bodies flushed, warm, alive.

Hear me ... Come to me

Tonight we shall meet and touch

It is our intention to reclaim all that has been lost to us

It is our intention to give to you, all that has been denied

Dare to free your body.

Dare to open your soul.

Feel.

Hear me ... Come to me

Let me dig deep into your soul

Become one with your Ivory bones

Know the harmony of your blood's song

Find the place where I belong

Let my footsteps echo within your mind

Journey with me through space and time

Let me turn you inside out

Breathe the Breath from your sweet mouth

A pulse stilled...now throbs and rushes

A tongue denied...salivates

A covert glance...seeks to be engaged

Flesh and mind flooded with new yearning...are hungry

Woman of the heart, Let thunder roll

Dig in your earthiness,

Follow your roots to your flesh

And find us dancing in your blood

You don't have to tiptoe around your heart

Dig in. Know it. Own it.

Trust the knowing will bless your lips and your hips

And set your world on fire!
