Dedication (to the Goddess)

the moon shines tonight in an indigo sky
like a beacon of everlasting hope
to a world that has forgotten its power

it is to this place that I have been called
by ones that are greater than I
by ones that have moved through my life
since I was young and just beginning in this world
they have guided my steps and directed my ways
they now call me again to make that final dedication
to give that last part of myself to them,
so that I might be one with them
so that they might be one with me

it is to them and to their power that I now dedicate all that I am, and all that I will be

By the moon above and surrounding night
I give thanks to the Goddess of my heart
Forever to be welcomed in her light
I will to her my final journey start

By the moon above and surrounding night
I give thanks to the Goddess of my soul
Forever to be loved in her heart's sight
She will be the one to make my heart whole

Goddesses of the moon and of the night
Into your gentle hands I place my own
Give to me, I ask, your Spiritual might
That I may always continue to grow

the moon becomes brighter in my sight
and a voice rings out across the sky

"Arise my son, arise and see
See that you are now one with us
As we are one with thee

Find in our heart, find in our soul
That which you have sought for so long
Will now make your heart whole"

then was her secret revealed to me
that she is not one, but many
she is Isis and Hera
she is Diana and Kuan Yin
she is Hecate and Mary

she is you
and her spirit resides deep within
the spirit of birth and life
the spirit of love and healing
and it is this spirit that I will serve
as son, brother, husband and father
every time I hear her cry
every time I see your eyes
every time I feel you sigh

I am yours Goddess, now and forever...
