======RHYMING CHARGE OF THE GODDESS======

I am the harmonious tune of the songbird

And the laughter of a gleeful child.

I am the bubbling sound of the running brook

And the scent of the flowers wild.

I am the floating leaf upon the breeze

And the dancing fire in the forest glade.

I am the sweet smell of rains upon the soil.

And the rapture of passion when love is made.

I am the germination of seed in the Spring

And the ripening of wheat in the Sun.

I am the peaceful depth of the twilight

That soothes the soul when day is done.

I am found in the twinkling of an aged eye...

And found in the birth of a newborn pup...

Yes...Birth and Growth and Death, am I

I am the gracious Earth, on whom you sup.

I am your sister, your mother, the wise one.

I wrap you gently in the warmth of my love.

That which your seek you shall find within:

Not without...not below...not above!

Remember always, my children, be reverent.

Be gentle, loving and kind to each other

And hold sacred the Earth and its creatures:

For I am the Lady: Creatrix and Mother!

-Kalioppe-
