The Priestess’ Pardon

She’s not sure what sort of state to create,
She’s unsure what kind of world she will make
She wonders just how she’ll birth what she wants
She understands that it needs to be strong

She feels the power, an infinite power
She sees potential, a limitless potential

She lays her head on her hands and she dreams
She wonders which bright tomorrows she’ll stream.
She knows that the seeds of the future are here
She needs to allow them to slowly appear

And in that world that she conjures to life
She sees all the heroines beginning to wake
She pictures the women, the mothers and wives
Their sisters and daughters destroyed at the stake
She knows that the poison is still running wild
She sees all the trauma and all the mistakes
The time for retelling is soon to arise
And time for the priestess in person her pardon to make

She asks her body, dependable guide
She hears the signals aroused there inside
She trusts that the knowledge will always reside
Despite all the obstacles ranged there beside

She feels the power, an infinite power
She sees potential, a limitless potential

She enters the forum without fear or scorn
She nurses the world as the new ones are born
She holds and she cares and she keeps all the powers in place
Until that time when we’ll all see her face

And in that world that she conjures to life
She sees all the heroines beginning to wake
She pictures the women, the mothers and wives
Their sisters and daughters destroyed at the stake
She knows that the poison is still running wild
She sees all the trauma and all the mistakes
The time for retelling is soon to arrive
And time for the priestess in person her pardon to make
