Adorned by cycles in rich décor,
she refills her bounty, her lush gifts
as Mother Earth nourishes a womb ;
caressing seeds of life to unfold
into fertile roots which tend my hearth,
and layers of her skin gather the fields,
where herds of cattle, rows of boughs roam
regaling toil’s leisure , gold the corn…
Pleased with the laughter of womenfolk
carrying fruits riper than sunlight
her earthy breath at ease like a dance
alive in continual motion:
yet this maiden’s glory longs for time
boney spine aging from burnt decay
while she recalls the fresh of pure mist;
awaiting man to cradle her again.
