The Dakini

Under the rose she speaks in twilight tongue and brings
The shining facets of the feminine to light the darkness
Benign heavenly Muse of Divine grace and blessings

Beautiful, fierce Dakini she is wrathful, untamed and fearless
In savage frenzy she dances on the corpses of ego and ignorance
A garland of skulls, bone on clackering bone adorns the goddess

Enlightened spirit of protection she nurtures growth and abundance
Bearing the fruit and knowledge of threefold root to earthly form
Bare breasted she drinks deeply the elixir of life as sustenance

Her hair hangs long and wild on her back! Dark as a thunderstorm!
Daughter of the Moon! Maiden, Mother, Crone, in Deiform!
