When she comes She comes in the room Like a gulp of cold air A hurricane to the face A slap so soft and sharp So caring and cold So great and so bold So young yet so old Every atom sings This lady; this goddess; this spirit This sidhe, from beyond the hills She came to see What you had put out for her Sheep\u2019s milk, oats and apples Whiskey, candles and hope. She blasts through the door A draught of delight In spring\u2019s awakening. We hold hands and shake As her powers leaves us quaking. Motherly but not gentle; Feminine and strong and wise; Changing the world before our eyes. The flower opens, gasps ensue; Our hands beating heat Back and forth Across the laden table. *Copyright 5th February 2017 *** About the Author: Mabh Savage\u00a0is a Pagan author, poet and musician, as well as a freelance journalist.
