Terra Firma

Mother I sleep in your remains
Spent some time dreaming here feeling about the soil
Breathing deep as the trees sway gently in the breeze
Stillness of silence within nature swims
Mother of life helixes rising and twisting
Legs split wide like chasm
Rivers flow like seduced veins
She can be so gentle and so cruel
With open arms I embrace the wind
At night she brings to rest cool reflections of the moon ease the fires of day
This is our mother
Moment by fleeting moment I feel her body die
Mother I sleep in your remains
we are blood of this land whimpering we shall return
Mother within all man
Nothing more than the blink of an eye
Legs split wide like a chasm
Rivers flowing like seduced veins
We are nothing in the eyes of the cosmos
A fading pulse, nothing in time…
