me, a priestess, stand lying down
a line that knows no linearity
speaking rhymes in languages unspoken
and laugh as mountains bow
rivers flow and ancient gods grunt in time
all priestesses need line up no longer
only rhyme in infinite pentameters
and sonnet in whim and glory
all these words, solemnly intuit
from you to me,
we, the priestesses in circuits of no bounds
a line that knows no linearity
speaking rhymes in languages unspoken
and laugh as mountains bow
rivers flow and ancient gods grunt in time
all priestesses need line up no longer
only rhyme in infinite pentameters
and sonnet in whim and glory
all these words, solemnly intuit

souls wide awake we
close our eyes
hum underneath the wolf's fur
sheltered in deep
hunger of green
we drink the resin
of time - we
forget our name
and the loss of the
most silent moments
of the flood
we seal up the mouth
of our cave
we fly free
we disappear
we expand
we raise our hands and hearts
we drink our light
we sing
we, wild
we are safe
close our eyes
hum underneath the wolf's fur
sheltered in deep
hunger of green
we drink the resin
of time - we
forget our name
and the loss of the
most silent moments
of the flood
we seal up the mouth
of our cave
we fly free
we disappear
we expand
we raise our hands and hearts
we drink our light
we sing
we, wild
we are safe

I wanted to be a priestess but settled for
a cheap burlesque novelty act.
I do it in church and the congregation
throws nickels and dimes into
the collection plate. It's enough
to feed me most days.
It ain't all that great
a career but I'm blessed.
It has less responsibility
than a priestess.
Plus, the bennies are pretty darn good.
I get to sleep with God on Friday nights
and Saturday afternoons, the angels
give me a bubble bath. Sundays are reserved
for making love to the saints.
The rest of the week is routine stuff.
Work work work. Never enough
money or fame but hell, I can't
blame anyone but me. I took the gig.
Not a small one, by any means.
But definitely not that big.

from a priestess you were born
and at your birth
they surrounded her with thyme and coriander.
she was entrusted with you
to lead you to your path
and guide you on your way.
time has passed,
her time has come
and gone.
she is leaving now,
passing the turquoise onto you.
may she be safely delivered
when her time comes.
Isis, Diana, Hathor
protect this woman.
so it is
as it has been
from time eternal.
understand?

I say A men like I say ten four, I agree, I wish her well, she must be able to split her fingers like Mr Spock's Vulcan peace sign.
I never call out to a goddess, except for Mary. Now and then, when I take her son's name in vain.
Priests and priestessess are born it seems
A random roll of the karmic/genetic dice
I am not priest that is for sure,
even though I live like one
No tribe of Levi
Just common labor for my tribe.
But if ever I did call out it would be to Aphrodite
But like Hector she left me to die like a fox on the runShe advised him (Iliad, book 5, line 129) to avoid all the gods except Aphrodite, “her at least you may stab”.
Cause I had it coming

I was no better a Quaker then I was a jewAmen: The word is related to "Emunah" in Hebrew,
which means faith and/or belief.
Adding "Amen" at the end of "...a blessing or a prayer demonstrates a statement of affirmation that the blessing is true and hope that the prayer will be answered." "Amen" is also a near acronym; its four letters stand for the three Hebrew words: "Aiy'l Melech Ne-eman" which mean that God is a true and faithful king. 2
Quakers don't say Amen to nothing
The words not in their faith and practice.
Wisdom is a woman,
I believe that to my core
Judih is a priestess to me
no matter what tribe she is from
a priestess of beauty and poetry
and common sense.

she is gone
taken
from my sight.
is there a mountain
i can climb
that will take me
somewhere close to her?
she gave me the turquoise stone
and told me to hold it tight,
to look on it and see her there.
was it a clue?
if i climb the turquoise mountain
will i see her?
can the shar-wa guide me?
does cho oyu hold the key?
all of this may sound strange to you.
but missing her the way i do,
i'm prepared to believe anything
and go any which way,
to any heights,
face any danger
just to have her close again.
woman of wisdom.
turquoise goddess.
she taught me to see magic
and believe in the mystical,
to recognize
and honour
the spirit
of priest and priestess
everywhere
and
all-ways...
