PEGI EYERS

ANCESTRAL LANDS

With blessings and benediction

Ancestral lands of my spirit -
the passage of time and oceans divide us
yet my heart-home yearns for you still

Your feminine forms rest deep in the earth
sacred earth goddesses that live on
in DNA memory - of kin, of connection

The eternal cycles, the great stone circles
nourish my thoughts and prayers

Your spirits of place that speak
to all those with open hearts

Touching the loam, immersed in sounds & scents
the coastlines, moors, your meadow-grasses

May my sisters give voice to my name
palms down, ancient spirit rising

May the Great Heart in the land
send blessings to her daughter across the sea
​
Send messages of belonging
beloved motherline that fills my soul

​

Mythopoetics by Pegi Eyers May, 2022.  I don't usually use the term "benediction" due to associations with religiosity, but in this instance it seems to work.
