Idunna
Holy Idunna,
You see such promise in each tender seed.
Every vein of every leaf
has been tenderly drawn
and creased by Your caring hands,
every petal of every
living blossom
gently parted by Your deft fingers.
Would You then ignore the
hearts of Your children?
We are scarred, and we are scared.
We push and we
strive - wanting, needing, rushing
through the sacred moments of our lives.
We never
see Your blessings;
we never see the blessed synchronicity
with which You fill
our lives.
Such care, such joyful simplicity, is so very foreign to us.
Teach us, Goddess, to treasure those things
You so lovingly place within us.
We
miss so much in our mad, mad rush
away from all that is precious within
ourselves.
Teach us, Goddess, to cherish the littlest blessings in our lives
So
that when we finally pass from this world
We may pour forth these delicate jewels
of memory
Into Your waiting hands.
