Poems

Everything lost is found again, in a new form, in a new way;Everything hurt is healed again, In a new time, in a new day.Change is, touch is, touch is, change is.Change us, touch us, touch us, change us.by Lauren Liebling, Starhawk

This is an excerpt from a longer poem entitled Kore Chant. The Kore is the maiden aspect of the Divine Feminine. The Crone, of course, has that aspect within her.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you; don’t go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want; don’t go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don’t go back to sleep.  — Rumi
