Untitled poem
It was on a night like this when I was a goddess, wind howling through the rafters, rain tumbling down.
It was a night like this when I found my Power, dark and alone amongst the stars.
I felt the world echo through me with every breath.
Every moment was a promise; I am a reckoning.

It was really windy and rainy a few days ago, and it reminded me of one of the nights I was on my lambing placement. I was in a large shed with a tin roof, assisting with a difficult birth at night, probably around 10pm ish. The wind was howling and rain was pattering on the roof and I felt POWERFUL. I felt like an Earth mother or a fertility goddess. I was pulling this new life into being, helping it take those first trembling breaths! And this being the English countryside, miles from anywhere, it felt like I could see every star ever! I felt amazing! I remember that feeling with the wind and hoping to feel that again.
