Salem's Ground

Here I stand with my sisters.
We call upon the ancient one.
Near me, I know.
Something will greet us soon.

 My hands raised to the sky.
I cry out to our mother.
We invite her into our circle.
We ask for blessings upon us.

 Our sacred ground
is ours for a reason.
We meet on this full moon's night,
to speak to our ancestors.

I am happy to be given a family,
from the one who blessed us.
For we are the ones who weren't destroyed.

 We shall rise once more.

This is such a liberating, and woman-empowering poem. Love it Tareva. I have three daughters and six granddaughters, so can so relate! Thank you for sharing.
