Hymn to the Mother

I claim
the sun,
the moon
and the stars
as my kin.

I claim
the mountains
as my bones
and the rivers
as my blood.

I claim
the breeze
as my breath
and the rain
as my tears

I claim
my life
as my own
to fill with
light,
love,
passion
and sorrow
as I choose.

I claim
the Goddess
as my Self…
we breathe
the same
breath.
