In looking over the broken shards
Placed in jars,
A greater understanding comes over me.
It was simple to see where my
Lack of trust was born,
Oh so early.
To have submitted to his seduction and manipulation,
Before I could have known what was even happening,
nor what he was taking; my sweet innocence.
Dimming my light in an act of self-preservation as a teenager and adult,
I sought males who for me caused minimal intimidation,
Instead, their power was a passive-aggression,
Subverted manipulation.
Unable to trust a man to lead me,
Not even dancing at my own wedding.
Now I’m choosing oh so differently,
Seeking instead a man of steel will,
whose valor moves him through darkness,
who can respect and love all aspects of the divine feminine.
A man who can lead me:
a woman of mercury without being poisoned or made mad.
Come my lover, show me the path to trust.
Teach me, the dance of love that is more than mere lust.

Thank you, Vic! For so long I’ve hated my own femininity. Now that I’m embracing it, the man of my life will need to be able to do the same. You want me to look nice? Well, that means it’s going to take me time to get ready (this is a shift for me, who loved the 10 minute efficiency, but looks aren’t created in such short time spans…lol).
