Womb of Gaia
Womb of Gaia,
uterine fluids rocking
offspring;
shore drinks
thirst is quenched
by Mother’s milk.
to the rhythm of my
swaying boat,
the gulls cry,
as womb waters
whisper.
Salty spray
from a passing orca
hisses past and I am awed
at my sibling’s
graceful,
breaching beauty.
Turquoise sky
casts it’s hue upon
silvery waters,
amid filtering
fingers of sunlight.
Starboard,
a pod of
bottle-nosed dolphins
playing, arching
among the whitecaps,
their chirpy laughter
rings and
I can’t help but,
smile.
I cut my engine,
lay back in Sol’s warmth
I immerse myself,
in the pulsating
heartbeat of Gaia’s womb.
