A Feminist Future

Divine by Kelly Louise Marshall (United Kingdom, 44)

9/29/2023

 
The Divine Feminine is the feminine aspect of the divine power that connects and binds the
earth together. It is the goddess energy that exists within us all. – Google Definition of The
Divine Feminine

​
​
Call of hawks
Rumble of thunder

Goddesses rise from your slumber

Sister’s merge
Form a herd
​
Of unbridled, wild horses

Run fast
Create a wind so strong

We tip the world off its axis

An indistinguishable flame
Power that cannot be tamed

Set fire to our collective pain

Jolt our hearts awake
As we embrace

In all our divine, divinity

Dreaming of a smooth sea
Ocean’s calm

Waves of freedom

Our ship sails high
On the curved horizon…
