For Artemis

I noticed that your hand was trembling
last night when I held it in circle.
And it seemed to me
that you were wound as tense and tightly
as a bow string.

I knew then
that you were working so hard to
hold and care for all of our energy
and your own.

I thank you for that.

But you are not a bow,
you are a beautiful archer
who must use that energy
to shoot the arrows of your divinity
into the sky and let them
fall where they must land.

  1. Artemis is one of my matron goddesses. I have always been connected to her. I chose this poem to read first because of the title. What a beautiful tribute to a circle sister! Thank you. Blessed be!
