What now?

what are these waves of love

this sense of gratitude

I have moved along in my journey

the fear of loss has passed

the desire for children and babies has waned

I now am stood on safe ground

I look around and I feel strong and big and calm

gone is the pain of times passed

the fat and sprightly robin bounces around joyously...

I nod and greet her in recognition

I look at my children with pride

waves of love overcoming me

excited about their growth

curious about the years to come.

as a woman

I feel there is a lot to be explored

a lot to fill and flesh out

Great Mother

Great Mother 

you are - have been -will be 

there

all along 

through gratitude 

yet again 

I understand 

it is through their bony teeth 

those buds

 from my body 

I let go 

broken wings 

 and in turn 

your arms

unconditionally 

eternally

speak to me

through the tree

the moss like fur

your embrace

deliciously gentle real 

sweet overarching bliss

your turn now

you say and remind

me 

do as I do
