M. L. Kiser Poet Prose

Gaias Secrets

This ship, this Earth;
Satellite on a quest;
Sailing universal seas.

Azurite orb, 
Whirling gyroscope,
Seeking a new adventure.

Pilgrim of galactic light,
Browsing the heaven’s shop windows.

What do you see, Gaia?
What do you know?
Your womb gave me
Up when you were millennia old. 
Teach me now, the meaning of life; 
Of existence.

I savor your flesh,
Drink your blood.
Your earthly breast
Feeds me and breath 
Nourishes my body.

Mother Gaia, this 
phoenix must burn 
to be reborn; sharing 
ashes with its siblings.

Light my fire so that
I am cleansed for a 
New journey;
My next life awaits.

I need to peruse 
your secrets and
Return your gifts; 
it’s the give and take
That nourishes all life.
