Gentle breeze flows
through autumn leaves
parade of colour
falls to the ground
I feel her within me

Iced droplets cling to
stems rooted for life
Glittering snow flakes
under the moonlit sky
blanket of warmth to our Mother
mirrored mirage for the self
I feel blessed....she is with me...

Blossomed creations
rain nourishes the earth
cleansing rebirth commences
pods to petals
moistened from morning dew
smoke of sweetgrass
filters the air
Her soul blends with mine....

Balmy sun bath
upon my aging skin
sand shores abreath
high tide crashes in
scented air fills my lungs
clarity has slowly begun
she breathes life into me...

Split open the spirit
present the soul
tender the whisper of love
harm me not my sweet,
I'm at your gracious mercy
for heart is fragile, open yet weary....
