EARTH GODDESSES

Posted on August 26, 2013 by libramoon

 

Ceres, mother of the Earth

Athena, of cerebral birth

Juno, queen of all the gods

Vesta, pure against all odds

Virgo woman, faith bequeaths you,

standing proud amongst your sheaths.

Cunning service, gifts of grace,

in all fields is your place.

Virtue’s reason, mind and soul,

You plant the seed. You help it grow.

You till the soil and prune and weed.

You are the soil. You are the seed.

 

A snow-white light on field’s relief

reflects upon divine belief.

The image of a wishful star:

A steady shine — but still so far.

The nights of hope; the days of pain.

And on and on, that old refrain.

We are the lung, the gut, the spleen.

We are all we’ve known, foretold and seen.

We are the truth that marches forth,

boldly speaks, rebukes false swords.
