WILD WOMAN CREATION STORY by Jacqui Lalita

This poem was written in a blaze of creation…

It emerged during a silent hike through the majestic redwood forest of Northern California. It's included in my 2nd poetry book Rebirth of Venus, along with many other poems celebrating the divine feminine mystery alive inside all things.

Wild Woman Creation Story

In a time outside of time, before the dawn of Adam and Eve

the spirit of Wild Woman was immaculately conceived...

Galactic gyrations and spirals of light gave Wild Woman

the gift of flight

She came as crashing thunder, pouring down the rain

and the Universe from this moment

would never be the same

Wild Woman parted her lips to sing and gave the birds their destined wings

Wild Woman shook her hips to dance and colored the world in a state of trance

The winds began to roll, the wolves began to howl and there upon her shoulder sat all-seeing totem owl

From bursting girth she gave birth to Earth

From her third eye came the sky

Such joy that the birds had found their home

inspired her to cry

She stirred her tears into a passionate potion that soon became wide open ocean

With outstretched arms she began to whirl and the spirit of dolphins came unfurled

Wild woman spread her legs laying embryos and crystal eggs

stones and bones, gushing rivers, vital livers

She shivered all the world alive amidst orgasmic quivers

The spirit of Shiva and Shakti simultaneously revealed

lush gardens exploding with fruits waiting to be unpeeled...

Wild Woman dreamed a mighty lion to guide the way to the land of Zion

She planted fields of corn and rice seeding ripe paradise

She was maiden, mother and wise old crone

who contained all mysteries to the great unknown

She came like thunder before the dawn of time

delivering the holy word in spellbound lyric rhyme

In a flash of light

Wild Woman appeared to set this Universe free

then she hid herself in the deepest depths

inside you and me.

IMAGINE A WOMAN by Patricia Lynn Reilly

This poem invites you to look upon yourself with loving kindness… Gazing at your own true reflection, you will discover that everything you have longed for “out there” is already within you! I invite you to love your creativity fiercely. Faithfully plant seeds, allowing under-the-ground dormant seasons, nurturing your creative garden with love and gratitude. In the fullness of time, the green growing things thrust forth from the ground. It's a faithful, trustworthy process. AND it takes time and patience. Blessed is the fruit of your creative womb! I invite you to trust your vision of the world and express it. With wonder and delight, paint a picture, create a dance, write a book, and make up a song. To give expression to your creative impulses is as natural as your breathing. Create in your own language, imagery, and movement. Follow no script. Do not be limited by the customary way things have been expressed. Your creative intuition is original. Gather

IMBOLC by Caroline Mellor

The inspiration for this poem came after I watched a magical winter sunset and full moonrise from the top of Firle Beacon in the South Downs... Unusually for me, I wrote the poem quite quickly and changed it very little before publishing it – perhaps the energies were working through my pen! Imbolc is the mid-point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. It’s a fire festival which I particularly love because of its associations with Brigid, the Celtic Mother Goddess of arts and crafts, clear sight, healing, inspiration and nurturance of creative talents – something which, through my writing, I am always trying to connect with. I also love Imbolc because, with so much darkness and negativity in the world today, it is a time for hope, potential, visioning and initiation. With love and blessings as the light returns.

WINTER SOLSTICE: A GIFT OF LOVE by Carolyn Riker

I’ve had several days now of alone time… It is unusual and a gift that I couldn’t see until I breathed it. I have been able to watch the sun’s rise through the grey of dawn and smile at the flickers of frost melting on the waving boughs of evergreen. It’s unique to follow daylight as it traverses the tempo of a cat’s soft slumbering purr. Night comes swifter and the glow of candles and the flames of fire comfort me more than the steady stream of always-doing-more. As much as I resisted, I needed this break. I had no idea how much my body was trying to tell me slow down until the exhaustion settled in around my joints. My eyes swam in molasses. Heaviness of I-can’t-hold-out-much-long, walked me to the throne of my nest. It’s winter’s gift of self-nurturing and love. It’s been a quiet proclamation of femininity and a need for comfort foods. Lemon crisps and cranberry, white-chocolate shortbread dipped in tea; I felt a hint of being pampered without
