SISTERS of the EARTH and MOON Song

We are Birthing Woman, creativity

All things come through me, mother of possibility

Ashamenta . . . balance of diversity

Beauty comes, beauty leaves, in surrender let it be

 

We are Changing Woman, from whom all changes flow

Not by what we do simply being what we know

Solid through the ages, we hold our sacred truth

Reflecting back the promise our family’s love renewed

 

Ancient Mother

We hear you calling

Calling us to know the dream

 

x2     Shield Weavers

Courage is our song

Light webs unite

Magic in the stars

 On Sunday, September 12 during Sisters of the Earth & Moon we will create the melodies for the songs below.

 

 

BIRTHING WOMAN will create a song for the girl children, the daughters of the earth.

 

These are the words for your song

 

Nine months in the waiting

A goddess comes to earth

Time for celebrating

She’s a blessed angel birth

A gift of joy we hold dear

Our baby girl is here

Dance earth’s story

Sing her song

The mother has held it all along

It’s the sun, it’s the air

It’s the crown of flowers in your hair

The call, the adventure

The joy each day

The song you sing is your give-away

A celebration of womanhood

Sacred river flows within

Life-giving sacrifice

Ebb and flow

Moon and sea

Wombs fullness gathers pain

Then releasing, giving away

We dream, we dream

We dream the new dream

Join us weaving the fabric of life

We honor the gifts that you bring

Welcome to the sisterhood

Strong young woman

Worker of the light

Welcome to the sisterhood

Service, love, sacrifice

We are the sisterhood

 

 

CHANGING WOMAN will create a song for the elder women of the earth.

 

These are the words for your song

 

Let me share my stories

I hold the wisdom of the ages

Dreaming forward, dreaming back

For all the coming generations

Become prayer with your life

Listen children to ancient truth

A life of living prayer

We serve with open hearts

We walk the beauty way

And we speak with spirit truth

A smile

A hug

We share our love in all the ways we can

The greatest love

Giving of oneself

Walking through the fire

Holding strong, the prayer

Hearing the cries of our people

We make the great sacrifice

Breathing pain in

Breathing pain out

Tareeshma Ya-Ta Quishetah Ah

Elders offer healing

Through their life of loving kindness

Smiles given freely to those who have a need

Eyes of love see through illusion to the truth of who we are

Open hearts receive with grace

Open arms healing embrace

Until the final breath is done

Past and future

Now and one

 

 

STAR WOMAN will create a song for the mothers of the earth.

 

 

These are the words for your song

 

See all my creations

I am woman, mother and earth

Feel my inspiration

Nurturer, keeper of the hearth

Sacred are my relations

Giving birth to all the nations

These are my creations

I am woman, mother and earth

All children are my children

This is the sacred truth

All children are my children

So precious in their youth

All children are my children

They grow with mother’s care

All children are my children

One heart, earth’s family

We all share

Weavers of the web of life

We belong, one family

Come one, come all

Come join us now

Creating community

All colors welcome

Our table set

With laughter and hope

Mother’s heart is the seed of love

Ama Marai

Her words become the children’s story

Her voice becomes the children’s song

Her dance of life is love in action

Her laughter heals the world

Ama Marai
