Goddess Trinity
by Connie Dewees-Gilger
Mother Sekhmet, you have blazed
a new path for me with your fires of
transformation.
I can do nothing but follow.
Your roar will not be silenced by old,
enslaving fears of yesterday.
Your soft paws draw me into a protective
embrace, nestled against your warm belly,
where I rest, to prepare for
my brave venture into the new world.
Mother Lilith,
I always dreamed of flying.
But it was you who gifted me with wings,
and pushed me from the limited to the
horizon of limitlessness.
Courageous Lillith, unencumbered by
shame or judgement. I fly with your wings
into the new world.
Mother Brigid,
Poetess, keeper of the spoken word
and scribed musings,
My gaze rests on your flames of
truth that sear all darkness.
I will share your divination,
your whispered mysteries,
with the waiting hearts of the
new world.
