Kali

Kali! Woman! Warrior!
We walked arm in arm today
over the rugged cliffs of this sacred land
known as Kali-fornia.
Passed by
by the delicious delights
of young sensuous longings,
just two old crones,
who could notice Your Power?

Ah! Kali!
You are a Strange One
the fearless feminine One
You do not need beauty
or even offer nuturance,
yet You are meant to be worshipped
and I am completely enthralled
by Your wild demeanor!

I recognize You,
Oh dark, skeletal One,
You are my Power/Heart, Friend
You are the secret ingredient that
all woman warriors long for,
Fierceness of Power.

Kali! Woman Warrior!
Lead them to your wild freedom!
