Revisiting the Goddess

6:25
GODDESS_2

Siren's Song to the Swamp Goddess

All the remains of Gaia’s wet wilds,

You remember the early Earth.

Cradle the land from the swelling waters.

Atchafalaya, Candaba, La Digue, Pantanal

Ebb and flow, ebb and flow Fen-Slough Quag-Holm - -Swale-Muck and Mire. Animal. Fish-moss, insect and trees.

Sinister enchanted Body of Water

Fertile abundant Web of Life

Pitch decaying Well of Death

Call Sága, Uhlanga, Antheia and Frigg

Ebb and flow, ebb and flow Fen-Slough Quag-Holm - -Swale-Muck and Mire.

Animal. Fish-moss, insect and trees.

Verdant green life lies on deathly grey, only a second apart.

Lacework of moss, webs, roots and branches

Baptismal dress and shroud alike

Bangweulu, Lutece, Okavango, Everglade.

Ebb and flow, ebb and flow Fen-Slough Quag-Holm - -Swale-Muck and Mire.

Animal. Fish-moss, insect and trees.

Your symphony, your symphony staged every night

Percussion of love and longing and ardor.

Songs of hope in the blinding darkness

Call Marica, Kirke, Ningal, and Nanše,  

Ebb and flow, ebb and flow Fen-Slough Quag-Holm - -Swale-Muck and Mire.

Animal. Fish-moss, insect and trees.

You cleanse the surge, the surge to the sea

Still, living tides bathe earthly greed

Constant filter kneads take and release

PaHayOkee, Bogue Chitto, Dismal, Sabine

Ebb and flow, ebb and flow Fen-Slough Quag-Holm - -Swale-Muck and Mire.

Animal. Fish-moss, insect and trees.

Even the smallest, the smallest one matters

Your arms remember us all

Teaching us Stillness in the rhythmic tangle

Call Nerthus, Nammu, and Julia Brown

Ebb and flow, ebb and flow Fen-Slough Quag-Holm - -Swale-Muck and Mire.

Animal. Fish-moss, insect and trees.

Song of the past, the past shows our future

Majestic Rot, we see your Rise

Your welling tears soothe Earth’s surface

Knit Creatures and Plants and Vapors as One.

Ebb and flow, ebb and flow Fen-Slough Quag-Holm - -Swale-Muck and Mire.

Animal. Fish-moss, insect and trees.

Your Web calls the Mothers Come Oneness to birthing.

Your Web calls the Crones Come Oneness to death

Sing! Seen and unseen, Everything Matters

Sing resurrection. Resurrection. RESURRECTION.

Ebb and flow, ebb and flow Fen-Slough Quag-Holm - -Swale-Muck and Mire.

Animal. Fish-moss, insect and trees.
