My honeymoon with God is Over

Or should I say Goddess? Is there a difference?

Some will try to make it so Try to strip God of anything Feminine But I have found the Goddess in God I have found God In the Goddess I have found Her in the plants That have healed my children In the rivers and trees Who whisper to me A living, infinite, Teacher Available to all, for free Oh, what glee! And yet, she says Deeper Deeper still my daughter It's not all butterflies and rainbows There is work to be done Purifying fires, cleansing waters Enlivening winds Hard, cold, grounding Land Ancestral Stones... Have you forsaken me? Why does it hurt so? Why is life not blissfully easy? I thought you'd be there for me Fix it all, magically Our first fight We made it through I see now, that you were showing me How much I am Like You The honeymoon is over The path must be walked The commitment has been made It's all less fantastical now No longer stories of the mind All very Real now A story of the heart I walk with those who join me We are many I walk for me, I walk for you A deepening relationship The fruits of Long Term Commitment are growing The result of choosing You Through time Over Lifetimes And seeing how you have chosen me Unwaveringly Every time
