The third poem for National Poetry Month.
(Image description: A photo of a light-skinned hand holding a clear glass bottle of milk. The person has long, brown hair and wears a dark brown top, with their fingernails painted with red polish. The bottle has a cow and the word Dairy etched on the side, with a pink straw that the person is drinking from. Greenery can be seen in the background.) Credit: Photo by Nicole Calmet on Unsplash
The Abundance card from my Brighid oracle deck has been reappearing lately, so I figured Brighid is giving me a nudge to contemplate what I need most in my life and my path, especially with Bealtaine not far off.
Milk of Abundance
I’d like to taste
the milk of abundance,
that I may feel the sweet richness
of joy in every day and every night.
To be lifted out of sorrow in my own time,
to be reminded of the blessings in each moment.
to be nourished with each drop of Your cow’s
sacred milk, to be invigorated with health.
To feel fulfillment in my endeavors
so that the seeds may flourish
when they’re needed most by myself and others.
May the holy milk quench what I search for,
that I may not wander far from Your hearth
and to know Your presence and aid those in turn.
