Poem on MAA KALI !!!

[Guest guest]

Found this poem on the net. Thinking of getting big print, framing it

and putting it up in the main room.

 

The origin of this poem is not known. Not India. But could this be

inspired by some old Sanskrit poem? I wonder.

 

The Dark Goddess

 

Hear me child, and know Me for who I am.

 

I have been with you since you were born, and I will stay with you

until you return to Me at the final dusk.

 

I am the passionate and seductive lover who inspires the poet to

dream.

 

I am the One who calls to you at the end of your journey. After the

day is done, My children find their blessed rest in my embrace.

 

I am the womb from which all things are born.

 

I am the shadowy, still tomb; all things must come to Me and bare

their breasts to die and be reborn to the Whole.

 

I am the Sorceress that will not be ruled, the Weaver of Time, the

Teacher of Mysteries. I snip the threads that bring my children home

to me. I slit the throats of the cruel and drink the blood of the

heartless.

 

Swallow your fear and come to me, and you will discover true beauty,

strength, and courage.

 

I am the fury, which rips the flesh from injustice.

 

I am the glowing forge that transforms your inner demons into tools of

power. Open yourself to my embrace and overcome.

 

I am the glinting sword that protects you from harm.

 

I am the crucible in which all the aspects of yourself merge together

in a rainbow of union.

 

I am the velvet depths of the night sky, the swirling mists of

midnight, shrouded in mystery.

 

I am the chrysalis in which you will face that which terrifies you and

from which you will blossom forth, vibrant and renewed. Seek me at the

crossroads, and you shall be transformed, for once you look upon my

face, there is no return.

 

I am the fire that kisses the shackles away. I am the cauldron in

which all opposites grow to know each other in Truth. I am the web,

which connects all things.

 

I am the Healer of all wounds, the Warrior who rights all wrongs in

their Time.

 

I make the weak strong. I make the arrogant humble. I raise up the

oppressed and empower the disenfranchised. I am Justice tempered with

Mercy.

 

Most importantly, child, I am you. I am part of you, and I am within

you. Seek me within and without, and you will be strong. Know me.

Venture into the dark so that you may awaken to Balance, Illumination,

and Wholeness. Take my Love with you everywhere and find the Power

within to be who you wish.
