Poem
Silent journey I ride with you O Mother Earth On the wings of time and space I feel you cradle me in your arms Lifting me high above you To feel the kiss of your wind ..... and the warmth of your sun A flicker of light and I am Surfing the tips of your waves Salty mist fills my nose My eyelashes sticky with moisture My heart wide open Oh joy ! To glide up and down On your surging tide To undulate with the motion Of your sea To feel the movement of the Magical water beings below me Sunlight follows me Illuminating the foam before me Twinkling glitter radiating Centuries of adventure and passion Lust and loss spread out before me Ancient battles Sunken ships Lost treasures and dreams lay Below me in the darkened depths Remembering your light within my heart A child of eight Knowing you Mother Earth Digging in your soil Smelling the damp dirt Grasping handfuls Unearthing small treasures of Colored glass and painted pottery Glancing upwards towards the sky Filled with puffy white cloud dreams Knowing your spirit and soul Feeling you entwined with me In the heavens and stars Finding you in unexpected ways Climbing the highest trees Grasping at thick branches Hoisting myself up Beams of light piercing through Shadows beckoning me higher My t-shirt soaked with excited sweat and purpose Flying my dime-store kite Out of my bedroom window Wind taking it up so far Up.... up...up Appearing as a migratory bird Making its way home Dissolving into a small speck Until I could see it no more Painful grooves biting into my fingers Cutting her loose She’s free to fly home now Transcending time A silent whisper Imperceptible movement Pushing upward Through fertile earth I slowly unfurl my cloak of greenery Stretching out my arms Raising my head upward I see the beauty of my form A new seedling with furry lime tendrils A baby plant on the carpet of the forest Glancing upward I see my self surrounded Sacred towering redwood giants gaze down upon me As sunlight music tickles my soul Susan Lawrence Copyright 2021
