Through oceans of time
The thread of The Mother Line
Goes right back to Source.
From the heart we can trace
The bitter sweet embrace
Of the Mother, the breast,
The life given with unrest
Womb after womb
Wound after wound
Eking down the line
Compounded and confined
To lie in the darkness
And let those echoes unfold
Melts the brittle silence
That keeps these stories untold.
You could be
The one to break-through
Don’t shoulder the blame
As you carve out the new
Coming through this stuff
Takes guts and pain
It’s time to recognise
Your efforts are not in vain
Stand tall
And rise from entangled growth
Relinquish the conditions
That keep you stuck and under oath
Release expectations
Of all that you wish
From your Mothers so dear
This leaves you both clear.
Yes there is rage
Yes there is love
For the woman that fed you
Fear and joy from above
Recognise the split
This double edged sword
Of the Mother line wound
And heal the chord
Go beyond the personal
Out past the edge
To expand your horizons
To live before you’re dead
Free of blame, free of shame
With the Unborn we All cry
On home to The Great Mother
Where as Sisters, We Unify.

The Women With No Name
I question if, in 2020 the ‘norm’ of taking the male line name is still relevant, and if so, what’s effect is it having on the empowerment (or not) of women?
