Heaven on Earth
Naked bodies all shapes sizes
Colors hair formations
Freedom to be and love whomever
One’s heart feels called to
Sacred land
Sacred community
Safety
Permission
Freedom to be
Freedom to desire
Freedom to ask
And to receive
Care nurturing pleasure
Tenderness
Freedom to let go
And be held
Invitation to plunge into
Fiery waters and emerge
Unscathed and more on fire
Courage to be baptized
Again
and again
Under icy waters
And rise
A sparkling goddess
Singing praises to
Her Highness the
Universe
