Villain Era

Before I enter my “Healed Woman” era
I must detour into my “Villain” era
You see…
I was cast in the villain role for so long
I might as well embrace the casting for a term
With that said…
Do not be concerned at my black wardrobe
My blood red lips
Do not pay mind to my near silent mumbling
As I light candles and cast salt about
Fret not over my narrowed, focused eyes
Rimmed in thick black liner
As I observe and calculate my options
Do not wonder about the herb-coated offerings
Laid out beneath the full moon
None of it is your concern
Cross the street
Avert your gaze
Do not trouble yourself wondering in my direction
I’m embracing my dark side
Doing my shadow work
If my shadow is meant to fall upon you
You will know

Wildling

She was wild
Divinely corralled
Pulsing with wind chasing through wild grasses
Bubbling icy streams and
Hummingbird wings
All kinetic energy and joy for existing

Wildness

Run unabashed though the tall grass

The wind tossing your wild hair in all directions

And brambles tearing at your hems

Laugh from deep in your belly

With your mouth wide open

And your head thrown back

Let starlight be the catchlights of your eyes

While the moon kisses your skin with dew

And soft, turned soil the carpet under your feet

Rage like a bolt of lightening from a black sky

And let your fury be quenched in the soft, summer rain of your tears

Love so deeply and completely that fingerprints are left on your soul

Dance to the drumbeat of your heart

Sing the song you have been carrying within you your whole life

And don’t give a single damn who hears you

Write your story with its angsty-teen-superhero, rom-com, horror film moments,

Coming of ages and chapter endings

Paint your canvas in all the vivid colors of your joy

And all of the pastels of your sorrows

Close your eyes and hum your gratitude for being who you are

And exactly who you are supposed to be
