Upon This Starry Night

I close my eyes to feel her rhythmic hum, an ancient hymn that thrives within us all, with arching curve and wise maternal sprawl, to her fertile wood, with joy, I succumb. As air envelopes body, mind and soul, the breath of life flows in and fills the wells- the deep, the dark, and sorrow it dispels attuning unaligned with self control. In flames untamed, unbridled passion burns to stimulate creative drive to be, a swirling fevered dance of breaking free, its searing heat refines and there I learn. The waves that undulate with tidal tow wash over braised and battered mortal limbs and float the fanciful and subtle whims to soothe abrasive pain that life bestows. Come wind and wave from earth, with flame take flight, combine in me upon this starry night. ~Enclosed rhyme scheme quatrains~
