She was born a Poet, not a Saint

By Circe Lyons

This poetry book is a sacred offering. It is a journey through loss and longing, rebellion and return, devotion and self-reclamation. It is a hymn written in the language of the body, the voice, and the soul. Each section unfolds like an altar, each poem a prayer, each word a stone laid in the temple of becoming.

It begins in shadow, with the mourning of what was lost and the altar that was never hers. It moves through rebellion, where the poet learns that saying no is a sacred act, and that devotion can be forged in wildness and courage. The gods enter her life as living companions, guiding her through thresholds of choice, teaching her that worship is not kneeling but rising.

She learns to see holiness in the smallest of things, and to call herself home. She learns that even ashes bloom and that the sun has always waited for her return. She comes to understand that her body remembers divinity and that her voice can become a hymn.

The final section is a resurrection. She becomes priestess and poet, altar and offering. She builds her own pantheon and names her own divinity. She claims her voice, her body, and her life as worship. This is not a story of surrender but of sovereignty. It is a book about becoming, about walking with the gods, and about knowing that she is enough.

This is her offering. This is her hymn. This is her resurrection.
