The Call of the Maenad

I ask you,

Are you willing to let your hair down and run barefoot in the wild?

To take pleasure in the feeling of your bare skin in the sun?

Are you willing to free yourself to soar like the falcon

as you rise higher and higher above the clouds?

I ask you,

Are you willing to crawl across the earth on your belly like a snake?

To feel the heat of passion as the wild rises from within?

Are you willing to touch the sensual flame of desire

as you face the wild beating of your heart?

I ask you,

Are you willing to swim fearlessly into the dark waters like a shark?

To venture far away from the shore and deep into the abyss?

Are you willing to return to the surface as a nymph

as you ride the tides of powerful ecstasy?

I ask you,

Are you willing to move freely in the trees and howl into the night?

To stalk your prey with hunger as you leap from rock to rock?

Are you willing to let your tongue taste the fruits of the wild

as you accept the guilty pleasures offered to you?

The Goddess of the Wild beckons 

do you answer her call?
