Our Dark Lady
janine canan
Goddess of Flowers,
Blossom Plume in scarlet robes
and Heaven's blue shawl with feathers,
Bird Mother, Virgin,
Our Hazel, Our Olive, Our Oak, Our Road,
Onyx Lady, Ebony Lady
You who dwell in mountain, well, cave and forest
with Your bee, Your dove, Your hare and Your horse,
You who continually answer our prayers,
Oh Mother of Truth,
matron of sailors, healer of the sick,
helper in the crypt, hope for miracles,
Holy Mary, Madonna of Fire,
Lady of Light, of Victory, of the widening Milky Way,
Adorable Black One,
Adorable Brown One,
Dark Tara, Tas-Samra,
Blackest Lady of Loreto,
You of the water, the snow and the dew,
Almond-eyed Mother, Our Silence, Our Joy,
Our Sweet Star, Our Source,
Hear us now, Our Dark Lady,
Goddess of Flowers, in Your scarlet robes
and Heaven's blue shawl with feathers.
