In Your Holy Womb

In Your Holy Womb,

Divine Mother,

I am not yet ~

I am about to be ~

I am not quite ready ~

I am still unfolding myself.

You still feed me,

Providing my entire life sustenance ...

You still hold me,

Carrying me securely within Your Being.

You are still forming me,

Impressing Your stamp of Divine Identity

Upon my every cell ~

Even marking my Soul

As sacred and holy.

I am yet to Be.

Still, within Your Holy Womb,

I am already

All That Is.

As You birth me, Divine Mother ~

May I be outside Your womb

True to That which I was

Inside Your Holy Nest.

May I ever be mindful

Of my sacred bloodline.

And may I seek solely

To bring honor, love and gratitude

As the only gifts worthy

Of such a Divine Parent.

Entering the Divine Womb

(Photo by Karen Wood)

I enter Your Holy Womb,

Divine Mother,

And sink deep into prayer

In Your sacred, dark, feminine nest.

May I always hear Your Voice there

Along with Your Loving Heartbeat.

May I always be strengthened ~

Nourished by the Wisdom

That feeds my Soul there.

May I always find rest for my journey

Cradled within Your waiting belly.

And may I ever heed the calls

You whisper to me ...

And carry forth the songs

You sing to me there.

Born of the Virgin

Oh, Holy Twin Flame of Love!

Sacred Father!  Divine Mother!

You, The Original Twin Flame of All!

You consummated Your pure Love

And all creation was born!

From Your Sacred Union

Was birthed all things.

You were the First

To deliver Virgin Birth,

For nothing You issued forth

Was defiled.

It was and is

All Good ~ Perfect ~

Born of You,

From You,

Destined to return to You.

May we humbly,

Mindfully,

Carefully,

And with utter Joy! ...

Bask in knowing

That we, too, are

Born of The Virgin ~

And may we ever strive

To live as the Holy Child

Who showed us The Way

To do so.
