Back from my hiatus, I have things to share with you. I’ve been writing poetry and painting, and living life a little, along with the usual round of daily life: cleaning, cooking, helping friends and family heal, gardening in my little yard.
First I’d like to share a little poem I’m working on. It’s about the earth, and my relationship to her. How I interact on both the physical and emotional level.
I feel your pull, earth mother
Each and every day I strive against and with it.
Pushing against you, testing my strength and my will.
In the morning I come back to the ground
To the smell of dew and the sun swings back around
As I wake to the sound of the birds.
I touch you
and a deep peace resides in my heart.
While the sun rides high we are partners.
The waves of my work and yours collide, ripple and divide.
When I find the tide of your rhythm, the work is easy,
Effortless.
My feet drum a steady beat against your darkness.
In the evening she comforts me.
After a long day of work and frustration I feel
The pull through the haze
to lay against the green mother.
I look up,
To be renewed by the spinning, rotating, joy of the stars.
We dance together you and I.
Resistance and flow,
Come and go,
I can jump,
But I always come home.
