Brigid



Brigid
(Celtic Goddess of poetry, inspiration,birth
and unity)

Goddess of fire,
whose gifts
forged
the love of words,
healing through birth
and unity.
Born at dawn
 with the rising Sun
who crowned her queen
of rhyme and reason,
knowing she would lead
to those abandoned rooms
we lock with restraint,
fearing the truth may
slip beneath like
a stream of light
edging its way into
open space.

  1. Her light slips through, even down here in the Bible Belt.

  2. Her light is here in Wisconsin as well! I love this mystical, myth-based poem, which is much less myth than metaphor. Peace, Amy
