the walls of patriarchy are crumbling.
Under midnight stars,
at the 11th hour on Planet Earth,
we contemplate what new thing
may emerge from the ruins
of human conquest.
Wise goddesses are waiting
in the wings, ready to forge a trail
through the bracken
back to the Old Ways:
ways of life, not death.
They beckon we people of Green Fire
to follow them and learn their ways.
As we earthlings awaken
and walk the path
of transformation and restoration,
the Black Snake will dry up
and fade away.
Green life and all animals
will flourish.
Mother Earth and all her creatures
will breathe clean air
once again.
to follow them and learn their ways.
As we earthlings awaken
and walk the path
of transformation and restoration,
the Black Snake will dry up
and fade away.
Green life and all animals
will flourish.
Mother Earth and all her creatures
will breathe clean air
once again.
For when Gaia dreams,
she always dreams
in green.
she always dreams
in green.
Yes, we are the people of green fire, we are the Old Ones' memory and future beyond the human nightmare. We are green fire no matter how clumsy human feet blithely stamps it out!
ReplyDeleteDreaming in green is very significant! I like the reflectiveness of your words, trying to imagine what Gaia would dream.
ReplyDeleteGaia may dream in green but i dream in blue/green
ReplyDeleteI feel like adding 'forever and ever amen'. Like a prayer, but to someone who might just listen.
ReplyDeleteFlourishing...that is just the right word. May it be.
ReplyDeleteSherry, this is absolutely beautiful! The video is amazing I could feel myself being pulled in to the wonder of it.
ReplyDelete"the walls of patriarchy" are indeed crumbling, Sherry. Lovely poem...JIM
ReplyDeleteShe does, indeed, Sherry. If only more of us would learn to dream with Her instead of following the Black Snake.
ReplyDelete"Green life and all animals
ReplyDeletewill flourish."...Each word has a candle light inside them Sherry. Beautiful, beautiful.
"Wise goddesses are waiting
ReplyDeletein the wings, ready to forge a trail . . ."
May Gaia's dreams and ours come true. I love the theatre here, love the allegory, love the possibility and view of what can be.
Here's to green dreams continuing and replenishing the earth, Sherry!
