A Dream Prayer

Goddess below that cracks open the world

Swallows it up and devours all

Goddess above that strikes the sky

And births the stars and all that we are

Blessed darkness that strikes down the wicked

That shelters the meek and frightened

Abyss that drives madness, and lets chaos thrive

That nurtures the seed in its belly

Black soil made from fire

Destruction and rebirth

Sweet Mother that takes Death in Her hands

And breaks it

That takes evil and splits its flesh between her teeth

Gleaming fangs that crush the bones of despair

That swallows pain as easily as water

As easily as blood

Let not the wicked stand against me

Mother.

Bring me into your grasp,

Shelter me in that dark chaos

That devours anguish

And protect me from ignorance born of false light
