a mother’s cry…

walk with me to the holy fire…

Below, a poem which turned into a song… to be included in my upcoming book of poetry, ‘learning to dance with stone’. During my apprentice years i had been exploring my healing journey with the two mothers in my life; my birth mother + my adopted mother and coming to deeply know our blessed earth mother, who is always there + holds me… So, these words became a song about the three mothers in my life.

a mother’s cry
 
there’s a deepness dark in me
that never goes away
my soul sooo yearns
for someone i’ve never known
	i think i can hear… a mother’s cry

i often wonder why
when i see an eagle fly
in a distance far away
is a love i’ll never know
	i think i can hear… my mother’s cry
 
my tears run fast
like the rivers of my blood
my heart longs for you
will you please remember me
	can you not hear… your mother’s cry
 
will you freely sing to me
like you always used to do
please listen for me
as i always do for you
	will you not hear… your mother’s cry
 
i invite you to return
to the ancient sacred way
time to let go the fear
walk with me to the holy fire
	now you can hear… our mother’s cry
