Celebrating A Goddess

-

The first time I saw you I was Singing.

Who is this long haired beauty,

With a lotus tattoo on one wrist and a Sheila na Gig on the other.

I wanted to know this woman,

who came to join us.

This woman with her womb in bloom,

Who added her voice to ours.

We bonded over Ireland and Shelia,

You were a wild woman,

Your Strength and courage was so inspiring,

You had a cheekiness in your smile!

A real lust for life,

you drew me in and I drank you and your wisdom all up,

Yours was an infectious optimism.

I got to dance with you as you birthed your beautiful boy.

I saw a Raw, Fierce and Powerful Woman,

Your sheer determination and power shone so bright,

I feel so blessed to have been with you on those nights.

Your Journey into Motherhood,

Your Sacred Birth,

You came into your full power,

You gifted us all with such light.

Your love for life,

Your fucking huge amazing heart,

This is what I will carry with me.

I remember you strong,

I remember your laugh,

I remember your tears of joy,

I remember you liberating me through cunt craft.

I remember the last time I saw you,

I walked you to that car,

We hugged and said I love you.

I remember your eyes, that smile!

You are the spark I see in fire,

You are the sun that shines today,

You are our Goddess Colette,

You will always stay that way!
