 Goddess of the Morning Light
breaking through the swirling mist,
planting your feet in the waiting earth
holding the world in your velvet fist
Spread your bounty far and wide
up and down the mountain side
over the dried out river beds
where swans so regal once did glide
Goddess of the sun and rain
bringer of life to arid plain
rejoice in power above us all
resplendent in your vast domain
Goddess of the Morning Light
fill the earth with nature bright
the flowers, birds, trees and fruit
grow beautiful in thy sight.

| My name is Dora Wright, I am sixty four years old, have now been with my partner Jim for 16 years.
I have only recently taken up writing poetry and find it so theraputic getting all my thoughts and feelings down on paper. I have taken to it like a duck to water and enjoy writing different types of poems. I have also written two short children's stories and have gotten a lot of pleasure from that.
I live near Loch Lomond, which is a place of ever changing beauty, from the loch itself to the surrounding hills and glens, not forgetting Ben Lomond, which I can see from my bedroom window every morning.
I am an avid reader and get through at least 6-10 books a week.. I also do oil paintings and have sold quite a few. But since joining The Pen & Ink writing group the year, I'm afraid I have rather put that to one side to concentrate on the poetry.I hope to keep going with the writing and perhaps get some more things published.
I have only recently started reading about the Goddess culture and am finding it a really interesting subject, one that I think a lot of women can relate to. I think as women we should be kinder to one another and try to get more in touch with ourselves and everything about us. We live in a beautful world, but how many people actually stand and appreciate the beauty they see on a day to day basis? not enough I would say...lets try and and become more at one with the earth and beauty around us, let it seep in to our souls and energise our beings. | |
