"Brigid or Brigit was a Celtic pagan goddess whom many worshipped. She was the goddess of music and other art forms. The Celts believed she inspired songs, poetry, craftsmanship, and wisdom. She was also known to aid in balance and transformation." (Wikipedia.com)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally, my blood began to coagulate,
but my spiritual blood still spills from my poetic pen
like a razor has sliced upon the wrist of the cosmos.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A reluctant poet am I creating poems, a poet
filling gaps between time and lost time~
time that opens wounds into worlds unknown.
A gardener of spiritual awakening, a poet tills
the soul’s soil with existential preening, ontological propagation~
a sojourner acting as both stopgap and soul-stamp.
A cultivator of human flourishing, a poet tends
to mankind’s soul with art, poetry, and myth
with failure and loss, with ambiguity and complexity.
A purveyor of wounds concealed in pain, a poet mends
mankind’s soul with tales told with verse, rhyme, and lineation
knowing every scar tells a story of heartache, pain, and suffering.
A keeper of the sacred fire within, a poet tenders
the flames of mankind’s yearning for transformation
channeling the pagan goddess, Brigit, offers catharsis and balance.
A versifier of multiple poetic forms, a poet tirelessly creates
compelled to explore the human condition, bleeding words excessively
spiritual blood will never coagulate.
