She Does Not Need You
(She Prefers
the Company of Wolves and Crows)
#378 January 2008
She prefers the company of
wolves and crows
She knows the world nose to nose
She is feral, fierce and
unafraid of lightening
She wears a different disguise
at every sighting
She can taste you at some
distance on the breeze
And with one look release you
from your dis-ease
She will shout at you to get you
to breathe
For your own sake learn to
breathe!
She does not need you x3
She can paint you into or out of
your existence
What you call intelligence is
merely resistance
She demands that you abandon
your defenses
See the world through a brand
new pair of lenses
She is warrior, healer, mystic,
daughter, mother, lover, sister
She is the magical entrance into
the world where we are all visitors
She’ll break your heart open and
you will howl with joy and wonder
She will then offer you up to
the thunder...
She does not need you x3
She would prefer it if you
turned off all the lights
Make friends with your shadow in
the gathering of twilight
Remove your shoes for the ground
you walk on is holy
It
is as Holy as much as it is muddy
She is not interested in your
opinion
She will never submit to your
dominion
But she does invite you to dance
until you drop
The old routines that caused you
to stop…
She does not need you x3:
We are running out of time
Move your body, change your mind
Plug yourself into the divine
And maybe she will give you a
sign
Surrender to the force of her
persuasion
Her wildness has a certain
contagion
She dares you to cross the vital
threshold
Do it now before you are too old
She does not need you x3
