Eyes towards Earth
A swirling macrosphere hovers
You know, you know
Balancing the spheres
Fire, Water, Wind and Earth
There’s a peace within
How do you hold it?
How do you wield it?
How do you tend
To this exponential, often terrifying
Sometimes dismembering
Vast and swimming field?
.
I’m here
I’m here
Listening to the assignments
Great meditations
Horrid initiations
Carving hollow the space that now holds birth
You know, you know
On winter ice, use caution
There is no use fighting winter
.
Has it taken eons
To cultivate the space you hold within
All that intersect, feel it
Your pulsing orb of potential
Some call you Sister
Some know you as Queen
This unstoppable force
That springs eternal
Kore Persephone Demeter
Birth, bud, flower, aliveness
Seduction, withering, trauma
Falling
Falling
Falling
Dissolving, sleeping, waking
Sprouting
The cycle goes on and on
,
Now, in my gaze
A new birth becomes you
Revelation is near
Filled with the knowing
Filled with the knowing
Ancient mycorrhizal tendrils
Growing into, and out of your form
Connecting, connecting
Pulsing, pulsing
.
Earth Sister
Will I ever really know your field?
I meditate on this, over and over
And still, struck with the vastness
Of this potential
Filled with birth, life, death and sooty particles
Stuck beneath nail
Smeared upon skin
Cosmological origins solidified
Holding, Holding
Birthing, birthing
.
Will I ever know you
In me?
This mastery of all potential
A walking Tree
A Radiant Sister-Queen
Serving the wholeness of your creation
Serving the wholeness of Creation
Through only a breath
A glance
A touch
Of your shimmer?
.
Meditating
On this, Earth Sister
You approach and call into attention
Eyes now open and glaring directly
You say…Follow Your Name
A psychic transmission as I gaze upon you
Calm and pulsing chest
Head now turned to sky
Mouth open, a haunting circumference
Follow Your Name
Follow Your Name
Follow Your Name
And Pay
Attention
She reminds me
She reminds me
And then re-absorbs into the field
She is the field
.
I stand, holding splintering post
This mysterious fence
I’ve circled
The entirety of my life
Looking out
Looking in
Circling
Circling
Living
Living
Dying
Dying
Birthing
Birthing
Earth Sister
You are the field
I am in
You are the earth
We are in
You are we
Becoming
Oh holy Shekinah
Precious
Precious
Radiant Tree,Walking
Out, onto the Land
My, Our
Your
Earth Sister
