I love this so much, particularly this line:

Give me the silent crescent moon rising over the sea and I will build you a bridge of silver light so you can walk across and lie in it.

Gave me a shiver.

I have loved St Bridget since I read about her in a seminary class and believe she shares many characteristics of the Celtic goddess. It’s good to have a patron saint or a goddess of poetry. Thanks for sharing your poem and the invitation to write our own.

-20 here today yet I could smell a hint of Imbolc. You write so beautifully. Uncoiling. Inviting. The mystery knows you. The words find you. The fire knows your name. Keep writing. Keep climbing those mountains. One poem at a time. 🙏❤️

Give me the healer, the poet, the midwife, the craftsmith and the prophet, and I will replenish her essence and make her new again.

Copying this because it's something I feel too. Thank you for sharing the origin story ... Felt close to how words happen to us.
