Ode to the Bone Mother

I am the Bone Mother
And I’m coming for your soul
I am the mystery of the great beyond
I am the taker of souls and the keeper of bones
I am the Bone Mother
And I’m coming for your soul

Step before me, if you dare
Lay your ego at the door
Don’t tread upon these holy floors with arrogance and ignorance
Step lightly with humility and grace
I am the Bone Mother
And I’m coming for your soul

Know your life will change forever
If you step across this threshold
Your old ways of doing and relating
Won’t serve you in this holy realm
I am the Bone Mother
And I’m coming for your soul

I am the mysteries of death
I am the mysteries of rebirth
Are you brave enough to let go of longing and desire?
Do you have the courage to be reborn?
I am the Bone Mother
And I’m coming for your soul

That chill you feel deep within your bones
Is the knowing that change is a’coming
There’s nothing you can do
To stop the world a’turning
I am the Bone Mother
And I’m coming for your soul

Deep within our holy earth
There is a deep dark river, A river of rebirth
Where souls are cleansed of darkness and old ways
Where the obsolete is washed away
I am the Bone Mother
And I’m coming for your soul

I am the Midwife of Death
I am the Midwife of Rebirth
I am the darkness. I am the light
Without one, the other could not be
I am the Bone Mother
And I’m coming for your soul

I am the Bone Mother
And I’m coming for your soul
I am the mystery of the great beyond
I am the taker of souls and the keeper of bones
I am the Bone Mother
And I’m coming for your soul
