I
Priestess of Dawn
to you I offer
the words of my heart
sung since the
beginning of life

given to my voice
like the lullabies
of your comfort
giving life to all

bless me mother
in your love light
and fill me with
words of love

may my offering
be accepted by
the Goddess of all
the Lady in White
the lover of my heart

thanks be to her
now and forevermore

Namaste

II

Priestess of Sun
to you I offer
the words of my soul
written since the
middle of life

given to my dreams
like the anthems
of your people
giving strength to all

bless me maiden
in your love light
and fill me with
words of compassion

may my offering
be accepted by
the Goddess of all
the Lady in White
the lover of my soul

thanks be to her
now and forevermore

Namaste

III

Priestess of Moon
to you I offer
the words of my mind
known since the
end of life

given to my thoughts
like the dirges
of your loss
giving tears to all

bless me woman
in your love light
and fill me with
words of comfort

may my offering
be accepted by
the Goddess of all
the Lady in White
the lover of my mind

thanks be to her
now and forevermore

Namaste

How could one not hear the chanting done
to the powers of the dawn, moon and sun
now a Lady in White, to you shall appear
for you have sung her song, O singer, O seer...

Well done, Sven!  This is lovely!

True enough that the most influential goddess would be she of light. I'm getting jealous of all these women you have in your life. Enjoyed

What a beautiful way to pray. I kneel down beside you and bow my head.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
