empty my mind of the rattling, clattering confusion.
empty my heart of the fear and the longing.
empty my mouth of the words yet unspoken.
empty my fists of the rage they dare not expose.
empty my legs of their yearn to run farther.
empty my eyes of these tears that still flow.
empty my arms of their need to be holding.
empty my conscience of the guilt i'm betrothed.

fill me, dear goddess, with strength and with power.
fill me, sweet goddess, with passion and repose.
fill me, proud goddess, with the knowledge of oceans.
fill me, great goddess, and let me be whole.
