I sit on Mother Earth, grounding down into Her Bones and Flesh.
I hear Her cry for help.
Softly at first, not a sad cry or a desperate plea.
It is the sound, smell, energy of a Mom
Opening Her arms wide
Inviting You into Her lap
To sink down into Her softness and smell the earthy scents of Her flesh.
Mother Earth asks us with
Fiery passion to rise up and speak out for Her,
Wet flow to invite others into Her care,
Strong grounding to stand up for the wrongs against Her,
Airy whisperings to call others to Her service
Heart and soul to share your Earth Energy and Love, three fold.
The longer I sit, rooted into Her Bones and Flesh,
The stronger Her Voice becomes.
I hear Her in the Solar and Lunar growth of Plants and Trees,
in the rush of River’s Waters,
in the chatter of Animals,
in the song of Birds, and
in the Voices of Women
Past, Present, and Future.
Rise Up Women and Men, She says.
Rise Up and Save Your Sacred Home.
