By:Michelle Smith

Stonehenge Solar Eclipse "A Turn of the Wheel" By:Michelle Smith Angry accusations of sin left me felling small and alone on a cold hard bench never at home - not in the house of the Lord nor in the house of my Stepfather Darkness brought fears touches that terrified with their betrayal Morning's light smudged the edges of midnight's nightmare and soundless screams School became sanctuary books distract the playground swing my greatest escape Years of anger fear self-doubt worthless-hateful mess of a heart confusion reigned supreme Discovery of the Goddess within and without sense of self rediscovery rebirth Reunited with Sun-God rays warm my face and soul I find my place on the swing again Goddess-Moon and stars replace fear with hope terror with awe-inspired by beauty Candle flame burns incense cleanses space and time pentacle of elements signify all of importance - Soul, Fire, Water, Earth, and Air arms outstretched - beseeching, praising, open and alive Love and light Blessed be - I reclaim my Life.
