Listen to poem:

Women's Circle

Taking the risk,
Baring the soul,
Seeking the wisdom
That shall make us whole.

Raising the arms,
Spreading the wings,
Hearing the music
That deep in us sings.

Stepping the dance,
Chanting the song,
Feeling the sisterhood
Tender and strong.

Sharing the love,
Speaking the name,
Calling the blessing
And lighting the flame.

Wow what a gorgeous tune a capella catapulting your poem to the level of a prayer or chant. Lovely, Agnes.

Hi there Agnes, I love this poem. I was wondering if you would allow me to share it on my blog for inspirations of words to share for Blessingways or Mother Blessing Ceremonies? My blog is located here: http://sacredpathbirth.com/blog/. Thank you! Avira

Thank you, Andrea. I wrote this as a song for a retreat of our women's circle. Here is an audio: https://soundcloud.com/rain-woman2/taking-the-risk
