My Mother, My Earth
The skies open violently above me
Shattering the stillness of shadowy moonlight
With the thunderous echo of a thousand droplets
Charging towards their mother Earth
Each drop slaps my cheeks hard
Tiny little fists beating my face
Pounding nature’s glory into my core
As I stand between them and their Earth
The rain drives into my upturned face
And with arms outstretched
I welcome the deafening chaos into my soul
Cleanse me
As the dry earth below softens and welcomes
I feel it creep around my bare feet like thick seductive fingers
Inviting me to curl my toes in its depths
To feel our Mother Earth soften and sigh
Here between the Sky and the Soil
I feel my body pulled in all directions
Longing to be everywhere with our Mother
From her midnight skies to her golden sands
But I am merely a thread in Her marvelous tapestry
A minute detail lost in the expanse of Her glory
And so I stand mutely knowing that while singularly ordinary
I belong to a much grander design
As my skin trembles under the slowing rain
And the muddy earth clings where I stand
I feel cleansed and renewed knowing that now and forever
I will be Hers and She will always be mine.

She will provide. True. Lets treat her with respect. For she gives us love. :)
Agree with every fibre of my being, Golden spirit.
