From Whence I Come
Oh so ancient times
Wife of Shaman
Consort of Royalty
Daughter of Poverty
Born in squalor youngest of many
Sold to nunnery over and over
Chattel of priests straining to be free
High Priestess blessing warriors going off to battle
Medicine Woman sanctifying unions calling down the moon
Sacred Warrior commanding the elements shrieking in victory
Vestal Virgin communing with Deities submitting in humility
I’m from Spirit, of Spirit, in Spirit
I’m the cosmos evolving into awareness of itself
I’m quarks that appear where they’re expected to be seen
I’m string that flows through all matter and energy
I’m the dance in parallel universes
I’m generations past and all those to come
I’m all my relations
I’m the connection to all life and all life is connected to me
I’m the stuff of stars
I’m daughter, wife, grandmother
I’m maiden, mother, crone
