blessing
for the first time since the last cycle

I feel the goddess Kali in my soul.

I saw her in a vision today, her eyes bright and burning;

she comes when the wheel of threes is complete.

she is madness, dark and great,

she nutures my fire, births my muse,

she is breath to the light of creation.

but she is destroyer of my empires,

she is the fall of men.

she loves me and she hates the life I build

if not for the chains I bind her in, if not for her unwilling cage,

she would raze my haven to the ground

she would leave me naked an exalted in pure solitude.

I welcome her inspiration and dread her wake

come, goddess, let us enter the circle together

take me down the spiral path.
