A Sacred Vital Journey.

A day full of love and honour, 

grief wracked, grief cleansed, 

broken, mended.

Held and embraced in a village of women.

Sage smudged,

circled in a flower wreath

of care.

 Pain 

witnessed with howling

 and a river of tears.

For me 

for him

for them

for our ancestors

for our children

and grandchildren.

A sacred vital journey

of healing 

and

 compassion

for us all.
