Fearless am I

even as I shiver with fear

I won't let you go and hide for another century

I am here to bring you to your deepest wound

your whole life built to not feel it

the wound which is the portal to the freedom you seek

I am change

I am dance

I am love

I am wild and priestess and beating heart and babies and commitment

I am shivering with fear yet staying

I am the green that covers the earth

and the longing in the hearts of men and women

Being me

Not letting go of who I am

is the axe

that severs your head and frees your soul

 

Not letting go of me

not giving in to all the pressure of the rules of the game

not bowing to your male superiority

even as you whine in discomfort

My axe falls when I don't follow your expectations

don't let myself be overruled

don't fall for sweet words

I will let nothing stand of what kept you standing

nothing 

nothing

Because I seek you

not your masks

driven by the heart of a woman

to connect beyond the separation

I feel your loneliness 

deeper than anything I ever felt

when I don't protect you from it anymore

it pulls at me to help you

save you

spare you

deeper than any of your words or complaints or demands could

and though everything in me wants to help

something deeper stands up

I've burned at the stake once and would do it again

No longer can I deny myself my sisters my mothers

to save you

So here I stand

wild moon woman

no longer tame

an earthquake 

shaking loose your soul

no longer do I fear all the loneliness and pain this shakes loose

I stand in the guilt

the shame

and everything I have been taught to feel around this

These are my flames

And I stand

with pride

I dance

even as I am scared

Me 

wild moon woman

earthquake

freeing myself 

my power

from layers of guilt and shame and fear

so relieved

dancing

so amazed

you don't run away

so stunned

that beyond your anger and reproaches and little boy complaints

I find a man

free as me

steady eyes

Man and woman

united in new ways

free souls
