Mother Eternal (Written with Rianne)
Dark journey from egg spring
I heard the Hopi myth being made
o to be hidden from creation
harvesting
still born
whisper
they spoke about a thing called woman
one who created
her own reality
each layer from the womb
one even fuller brighter than the other
my hair a banshee light
where life sprung from
mother of your skin I am
passing on twilight
vortex owl hoots omni potent
from giantess ash tree
rooted lineage
braiding bardic knowledge
into me
scabbard
word
shaper
Mother
O ambrosial
shade
I ask of you
birth me again
in spring
*****
I am Becoming
the bloom and fullness
of petal and dew-kissed stem;
succulence on the vine
I am Conception
the cradle of life;
these arms, an extension
of birth and new beginnings
I am Life
the hectic mornings
and lazy summer afternoons
I am the stories they will tell
I am Eternal
in memory, as in
the ripening wombs
of my legacy

Dear L and R,
Beautiful journey in flight. I am finding each time I read this I can add more and more to my own visual story of womanhood. Sumptuous piece. H🌷

Brings to mind the songs of two musicians both engaged in the genre of folk and tied to the stories of the Native Americans, Joan Baez, and John Denver. Both had songs I was exposed to at an early age. A superb write.
