WONDERLAND LAKE
And above
chattering leaves
of deciduous trees
momentarily kindled by the wind
with their supple vitality now giving strength inward
may no longer feel her breath as She --- inhales
---and -aaa- sighs with purposeful ease
Only the lakes orbit
lining the earthly indulgent mud
undulates in flow.
Feathered creatures, pause -
and land on our Mother's icy surface
with an orchestrated shatter..delicate percussion.
I blissfully so tenderly touch
my soft belly
and feel Her winter love
delight in my bare skin.
My nose burns in the silence
I am really here
in this physical body
that now
at least
feels anything but as I receive one true nature
with my breath as my caravan,
I melt into the Earth.
The geese hear my soul
they mustn't rest too long
free
yet on mother's time
together.
But alas
a few take their time, I laugh in my similitude
To enjoy the howl around their feathers a ruffle longer
and depart.
I sigh with the wind.
