I am but a small child,
Tucked under my Mother’s chin.
Little kisses of sweet breath dance
across my face. Words of wisdom
she speaks to me. Soft words that
ebb and flow. The lilt of her voice
like a little rhyme I once knew.
But yet I am a small child.
You are Mother.
I stand in the meadow amongst
a field of wildflowers each bending
with the sweet breath of the wind.
The Earth speaks to me ~ words of
Wisdom I have heard before when I was
Old. On the edge of the clearing the
Horned one admires my gait. Mother
Returns home as I join the dance with
My admirer. We have danced before.
But yet I am a Maiden.
You are Mother. I am Maiden.
I sit in my chair holding you close to
My breast whispering words of wisdom
You cannot yet understand. You suckle
my breast and I wish upon you strength
and happiness. She sits in the sun across
the room gazing at us in our moment.
She remembers when I was that small
Child at her breast. I have once gazed
Proudly upon my grown daughter.
But yet I am a Mother.
I am Mother. You are Crone.
I sit watching you from across
The room, proud of what you have
Become. My words of wisdom have not
Been lost. You have heard them before ~
In a lull-a-bye, on the wind... We look into
Each other’s eyes and you are strong and you are happy.
A small sweet breath dances across our faces and you pull the
blanket tight across the babe that suckles your breast ~ She joins us.
We are but Women.
Maiden, Mother, Crone.
