I HONOR MY CYCLES OF WOMANHOOD

Ruby river, you connect me to the ancient.
You flow me through the cycles of the moon,
Unleashing my hormones to flood the lands,
Replenishing myself as I bleed.

Full moon,
Full womb.
I am life.
I am Woman.

Primal and wise,
Red river, you open my eyes.
I release into the mystical cosmos.
I am connected to all women.

Ripe and red,
I lie gently in bed,
Nourishing my body,
Honoring this ceremony of womanhood.

The breath of the wild is alive in me,
Howling with instincts and wisdom.
I am cycling with the moon.

 O ruby river,
You remind me of my deepest wisdom
And ground me into all that is.
