Living in a forest

I am wrapt round by goddesses.

Lifting their arms and their hair

they spin soft to each other

speaking to each other

and to me in the morning.

I surrender my power to the wind

for it moves through me, and opens me

I surrender my mind to the sky

and release the need to feel

ownership.

I am not I, but sky

woman, more,the dancer

of visons

unowned.
