How I know You

I feel it, 
     Laid heavy in my bones...
         Like thunder You are to me...
I smell it,
      In the dew upon which the moss drinks...
          For You alone for so long have forgiven our thirsts...
I hear it,
      In my head-- it dances...
          Just as the loon plays its sweet and haunting coo...
I see it,
      With my own and fortunate eyes...
          That in moments Your Dominance reclaims-- even the unwiling...
I taste it,
     As the sweetness of life...
          On the lips of lovers--
Spent on more than just spirits of elder or vine...                     
I know it,
     By the rhythm of my heart...
          For it beats with the strength of predator 
               And the fear of prey...      
You are it All,
     And I know You...
          
Not because I am mighty--
     Rather it is because You have given unto the likes of us
          As a Mother...
In sweetness, in rapture, in sorrow, and primality...
     I know You, 
          Because You run through me like fire...
               You dance in my hair as I stand upon the tor...
I know You...
     For You are my Wildwood Queen...
Penned by my hand on the 3rd of Glacian, in the year 647 AF.
