I read about the bloggers' silent poetry reading on ysabetwordsmith's journal. I wanted to post a poem. Though I may be Hellenic, Brigid was one of the deities that showed me the Gods of Greece were the right choice for me.

The Song of Brigid

I am the smoke on the pyre
I am the bubble in the brook
I am the cat asleep on the hearth
I am the wren on the breeze
I am the heat of the blaze
I am the herb of healing
I am a red-eared cow
I am the playful otter
I am a well on the land
I am the inspiration
I am the anvil and the hammer
I am the goddess who burns the inner fire
…Who stokes the fire of the home
…Who fans the fire of the forge.
…Who is the fire of the heart

(based on The Song of Amergin, written 2004)
