Prayer

Help me, Aincient one

Guide my breath

Into my spirit

Guide the water 

Down my breasts

Quiet the fire

Let the mind rest

Let me see 

When I am blind

Let me hear

When I want to scream

Let my lips 

Be dry

My heart humbled. 

Guide me, Aincient one

Cool the fires of below

Let the wisdom

Wake up

Within me

Lighting my way 

Through the dark. 

Lead me, Aincient one

Through the daze of confusion

Through the maze of fog

Offer a nourishing hand

Let me lean on your shoulder

Let me feed on your strength

Take me, Wise one

Underneath your wing

I fumble and I fall

Tripping on my own greatness

Drowning in my own power

Protect me, Ancient One

From my weakness

From my strength

From the darkness of my ignorance 

From the depths of my own pride

Forgive me, Mother

For the moments of haziness

So I can forgive myself.
