The Triple Goddess
Shall be young and old at will --
Maiden, Mother, Crone.
"Thou art Goddess," I
whisper to my daughters as
Their dreams come calling.
We Pagans don't put
Much store in virginity.
Sex a sacred act.
As an old woman,
I will walk down to the park.
Ancient tai chi Crone.
As a mother, I'll
Take the girls to swim lessons,
Then go see the horses.
