Sekhmet of the vast desert
Mother of tumult
Of hot sand rolling into glyphs,
Our fragments are fused by your initiation
Our parts, joined by your power
In its pure intent
You make sense of the sand
You make clear our path
Upon the back of Geb
Re's (Ra's) rebirth sheds order upon the velvet earth
Each day
Sekhmet Healer, we are home
Sekhmet Mother, we are yours
Sekhmet Mender we are whole
Vengeful Eye of Ra
Lioness in chaotic nature
Reigning in
restless dust and relentless sun
Surviving the self-created
Emerging, enduring, restoring, thriving
Red sand writes our road
Mother of Ma'at, we are birthed by you
Mender of selves, we are one in you
The desert arches its back, shakes off the
sky

I never thought I would love
Your persistent push and shove
The way you hold your ground with me
When I say you should back down to me
But even in my fieriest rages
Your disarming manner engages
And when I try to push you out
Somehow you still know what I am about
Sweetest compassion
Sweetest compassion
What is a moment of passion?
Next to your sweetest compassion
How can I longer deny it?
In the still and the quiet
That follows the flash and the heat
It’s still your soul that makes mine complete
At the height of my jaded pretenses
I saw your belief and came to my senses
How can you forget the world danced with us?
How can you forget the innocent trust?
Sweetest compassion
Sweetest compassion
What is a moment of passion?
Next to your sweetest compassion
How can I longer deny it?
In the still and the quiet
That follows the flash and the heat
It’s still your soul that makes mine complete
The universe had its way with us
We were flowers that bloomed in decay
With an eye to all that arises
From our struggles and our compromises
Sweetest compassion
Sweetest compassion
What is a moment of passion?
Next to your sweetest compassion
How can I longer deny it?
In the still and the quiet
That follows the flash and the heat
It’s still your soul that makes mine complete

Beautiful moon
Won't you cast an eye on me
And place a kiss
Upon these silvered dreams...
A moon in summertime
Is a moon without a tear
Cast away the grey and misty days
I'll linger long
Where clouds are far away...
The moon this summertime
Is a moon without a tear
Wise moon, you know
All my secrets in the dark
You're the only one who knows
I'm alone...
These bright days surround me
And seem to ease my soul
I'm not sad and lonely
Just alone...
Shimmering moon
I saw your smile tonite
I know my dream
Will someday come out right...
The moon this summertime
Is a moon without a tear

In this world full of pain, heartache, and woe, it’s cats who always break my heart the most. They’re not even trying but my tears they bring, just doing the things that come instinctively. Only a cat can break my heart! Only a cat can break my heart.
My friend in Chicago’s got a cat named Halloween. She’s got that tortitude but as pretty as can be. Was eight years before she’d finally let me pet. Gotta wait two more till I’ll see her again. Only a cat…
Out my window see those feral cats play, rolling in the dirt and roaming all day. They’ll stare at me till I open the can, yet scratch behind the ear is never how it ends. Only a cat…
Open my door and what a welcome meow! Stray kitty’s ready to cuddle now. I buy him treats and treat him like he’s mine, then he stops showing and I’ll never know why. Only a cat…
So go ahead, humans, hit me with your best! Delete me, deceive me, after time I’m over it. You can’t understand this life’s hardest part:
How cute little kitties will break my heart.

You are ferocity and frolic
Lover and huntress
You are Bast
Comfort and courage
You are Goddess
And the greatest of all cats!
Slayer of Apep
I feel safe in your paws
Lunar and solar
Ablaze in the All
You are sent from Bubastis
For the faithful throughout time
They who seek fertility
In body and creativity
Call upon You, Bastet!
Women adore You
and the protection You bring
in the stages of our lives
You are a queen among cats
Sleek, fair of mind and heart
Majestic and gracious
Feline deity, Bast
Mau Bast, Mau Bast, Mau Bast!
