She shreds her flesh 
to offer it to the moon 
She offers peace 
as darkness leaves 
spring scatters magic seeds 
to the festival of the imbolc 
she is no longer a slave 
to the underworld 
stretches through the earth 
giving women fertility 
in a promised land 
She holds charms of the divine
glittering gold in their wombs 
holy wells filling dead eyes 
with unrest 
dazzled by the moon 
she weaves freedom into the 
heart of every woman 
She is a goddess of grace and beauty 
She is a goddess of poetry
