Witch’s Lament
A poem to the beloved goddess for help with climate change.
Eyes glow,
Bated breath hold.
Visualize, and feel;
Wisdom left from the days of old.
Release.
Sunsets,
Color of gold.
Circle drawn, time to kneel;
Love given to us undersold.
Welcome.
Moonrise,
As the tales told.
Forest spirits appeal;
Bring us back home amongst the fold.
Peaceful.
Mother,
Beauty untold.
You are my Achilles’ heel;
Sweet grace, remove our chokehold.
Children.
Lady,
End this anneal.
Children lament your scold;
Truly, now, your love can reveal.
Your child.
