heaven is hers!
earth is hers!
she is a warrior,
she is a falcon,
she is a great white cow.
she fought the dragon and slew it.
she seduced the scorpion and tamed it.
the golden lion slept at her side.
she is the singer,
she is desire.
she is the mountain of silver, gold and lapis.
on her hips tall trees grow, and grasses.
from her waters spout and savory grains.
her lap is holy,
her lips are honey,
her hand is law.
her breast pours heavenly rain.
she is the healer,
she is life-giver,
she is the terror, the anger, the hunger.
fierce winds blow from her heart.
hers is the thunder, the lightening, the glory.
she is the morning,
she is the evening,
she is the star.
she wears the gown of mystery.
heaven is hers!
earth is hers!
who can argue?
