I AM THE LORD OF THE SHEE
AND THE KINE
The Dancer in the Wind,
The One and Indivisible
The Beauteous One
Upon the Mountain Ridge,
Crystal Womb and Heart of Earth.
I am the Lord of All.
Eye of the Whirlwind,
Burning Sun and Sand….
Circuit of Planets, Symmetry of Stars
These My Majesty and Power….
I am the Lord and I am the Lady,
Mists of dawn upon the Lake,
Flash of kingfisher, darting fry,
A blaze of myriad hues….
I am the Flame within the Pool.
I am the wave of oceans deep
The rock I dash upon.
The petrel wheeling
In the salty wind,
I am the freshness
Of the breeze.
Hum of bees
When morning comes
To warm the hive
And summon them from sleep.
Carpet of leaves on ripened fruit.
Patter of rain on window-pane.
Blackbird, Eagle, Jenny Wren.
Balm of all evil,
Green herb and flower,
Perfumed desire,
I am!
Gentle am I in ripple of stream,
Idling then chuckling along,
Lightly I swoop as dragonfly
And skate across the lily pond,
Gangling water-boatman, I,
Droplet on beaded frog.
In every vein I pulse and flow
Along the ways of my design.
I swell within the robin’s breast
And know the ways of men
Although they know me not
I am the Seed and Root of All
I Am…….
