this is a poem froma friend of mine who is one of the sexiest, powerful, sparkly people I know. Enjoy, resonate, and recognize yourself.

When I am an old lady
or even now
I will wear purple
or blood red
and reveal my night stalker
were-wolf
or monster

I will not be safe
I will rage my truth
or perhaps be a spy
of Transformation
anyway

Walking by my side
will be my children
dear ones
and vulnerable artists

And they will know
that the power
of my Darkness
is in service
of the Light

For a life without
boundaries
fierce joy
and wrathful compassion
is either a daring
adventure
or nothing
- as Helen says

So come out
come out
wherever you are
and lets form a club
but not a clique
of empowered
self expression

Inannas and Ereshkigals
one big
full of our-Selves
family
