Mother Magic (Thursday Doors Writing Challenge)

photo by Robbie Cheadle

Once upon a time
in song and in myth
now and forevermore…

My name will be moon.
It will be water and also
moon-shining-on-water

It will be compounded by fire
and air, attached by currents
to the turning of the tides.

It will be wishes-upon-stars,
winged dreams and wild dreams,
spiraling-rivers-of-galaxies

It will be smoke-in-mirrors,
mysterious and distant,
singing spells in whispers.

It will be browns-turning-into-greens,
layers merged into glimmering
transparencies where roots abide.

My name will be the-rock-that-holds-the-sky.
It will be elemental, primordial, endless,
unlimited, immeasurable

I am the Guardian of Creation,
the-wheel-that-keeps-turning–
the doorway into the womb.

When I saw Robbie’s photo, I thought immediately of all the world’s mother goddesses.
