First request on the deity poem for @jezzzebel , who asked for a poem for Mokosh', who is, I believe, a slavic goddess of motherhood, fertility, summer, nature, and more. So here you go!!:3
To Mokosh'
Oh Mokosh', of those who are loving. Mokosh', the light, for those who are free. Free just like leaves, flying into the wind, Just like rivers and waves in the forest's bright green. Oh Mokosh', and still, you are of those people, Who stay in their houses, waiting for winter. Who cannot see the sun, cannot bear it, To whom walking into the street is a challenge. Oh Mokosh', the one to care, your gentle hand is for all, The grand mother of life above and beyond. Your caring words are for those who see, Who wish to hear, who wish to breathe. You are the life, you are the love, But your children shall never forget your bite. You are the Queen and you are the Mother. The strength you bear, they do admire. Your hand saves lives and stops the other, Where life is born, death walks beside there. Oh Mokosh', there is always darkness, Places, where humans get stuck sometimes, But it is your gaze, your tender brightness, That stubbornly cuts through the pain. And it is humane to go through the darkness, I know. And your hand pulls us up to see the road in front. The night is not eternal, there will always be day. The sun cannot disappear, it'll always be there. And I thank you, of those who are lost, Your tender hand to push me forward, To where I never had been, and never knew of before. The darkness is just a shadow of the light that you've brought. And I will find it, and I will get there some day. And I will see, not blinded by it.
