spinning on the Earth's axis

 
the Earth spins on her axis
naturally revealing evolving pain
aching in her quiet times
I silently spin with her
 
my soul sinks into the moist dirt
roots my umbilical cord
tree guardians nourish me with wisdom
while the ancient redwoods watch over me
 
for eons we have evolved into the being we are
Mother takes note of our progress
and whispers to the great winds
 
"they're becoming"
 
the ocean waves kiss the shore
awakening womanhood
the moon has set the internal clock
little ones are to enter through us
 
journeying through time
until the appointed hour
the great quakes foretell
they speak loudly of Mother's current displeasure
 
some hum in tune with her melody
others pound out their hatred  
raping our Mother thinking no one sees  
the whirlwinds warn someone is coming
 
connected to space--
the stars have recorded the happenings
the celestial council is in session  
all will be reconciled  
 
the Earth will see a new age
all that is natural will be reborn
some will be renewed within an understanding
 
nature nourishes her children
gentle yet cruel she selects the next generation
she and him who evolves with her  
and who will move on without her
