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

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.
