Take me Gracefully

Great Goddess of Night, whose voice i hear in the wind,who breathes the breathe of life to her children. Hera me; I need your strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset that comes before the beauty of your night.

Make my hand respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught your people. Help me to remain calm and strong in the force of all that comes towards me. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. Help me seek pure thoughts and act with the intention of helping others. Help me find compassion without empathy overwhelming me.

I seek strength, not to be greater than others, but to fights my greatest enemy, the doubts without myself. Makes me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes. So when life fade, as the fading sunset, my spirit will come to you without shame.
