Dark Mother Divine

A poem by Shalini, member of The Sect of the Horned God

The darkness of your love radiates
Alive and pulsing
Strong and persisting
Sweet siren
Seducing, embracing, leading….

Mother Kali….. your dark love embraced me
When I called and you answered
Saviour and protector
Avenger and destroyer
In your power and darkness
I find true love and beauty
Never found in this world

Dance for me, Goddess
In wild, untamed frenzy
Let me hear the bells on your feet
And the beat of the drums
Sweep me off my feet
Like a crazy hurricane

Let me rise like a phoenix
Amidst the destruction of your creation
Let me fly like a dragon
From the ashes….. with you
Renewed, recreated, alive…….
Empowered, strengthened
By your eternal love
In the darkness of my soul.
