Poems after being half blind

Had an interesting experience yesterday. I tried to meditate and couldn't then something seemed to fly into my eye but I couldn't find anything but it hurt really bad. It kept hurting all afternoon and I could barely concentrate on anything and I couldn't read cause it hurt to move my eye back and forth. Then last night my eye just stopped hurting and I got all inspired to write poetry and find some understandings. Might not be the worlds best poetry but it means a lot to me.

Four Gifts

A stony doorway
Entrance to mystery
The stones are singing and I shall enter

A shining sword
Sheathed in justice
The blade is calling I shall find honour

A sturdy spear
Swift and unfaltering
The weapon thrown I shall know peace

A mighty cauldron
Empty yet bountiful
The meal awaits I will have contentment

The Blue Lady

The Blue Lady calls
In my dreams…she speaks
In wisdom
In vision
With love
She is me
She is Goddess
She is Creation
I know her name
I know her face
She does not ask for worship
She only acts for love
I am student
I am daughter
I am self
I would listen in the stillness


The Guise of the Goddess

I am the Mother
I am the Maiden
I am the Crone
In blue gowns I am the teacher
In my green I am new life
In deep pauses I am the olde one
In this game I am the dice
I am Goddess
Of Lowing Water
Of Ending Night
I am the Snowfall
I am the Moonlight
I am the Burning
I am the Owl’s flight
I am the one in the twilight of sunset
I am the laughter in the chilled grasp of dawn
I am the embrace as you cross between worlds
I am the first light as you are reborn
I am the equal
I am the consort
I am the peace
When the battle is fought
I am the melody
That the night wind cries
I am the Goddess
With names for each guise
