Deep Medicine

The wind and I are good friends 
She is teaching me how to listen 
And the moon, like a sister to me
Teaches how to swoon
And to shine at night
  
Even while the world’s coming undone
I will keep showing up at the altar
Just like the whipping wind
And the mountain moon 
No matter how weary

I will keep stirring up the storms
I will drink the bitter darkness
I will love my imperfect ancestors
I will sink my roots stronger down
I will bow to this howling earth
Where all magic is sourced 
Where deep medicine
Keeps being offered
To my astonished heart 

	- Kristy Hellum
