This Fertile Earth
Purple petals peek through black stone and a voice whispers,
“Is it not the same with you, this burning lust for life?”
Yes, our roots firm with life press into fertile Earth
as the humus of past lives embraces us in ecstatic song,
all reaching for one moment of light.

I like this, and how it opens up on rereading it. There's some sound play in here that I enjoyed, and the overall mood and feel to the piece is sensual in such a soft, airy way for me, which is in contrast to the earthy imagery.

Thank you for the kind comment. I'm pleased that it felt soft and airy to you. It is so easy for me to be blunt and harsh. I'm trying to grow:)
