Birth

i am in the earth

  where we were born

    lying in the sacred hand

cupped by beauty 

  gentleness made by

    years of wearing

from the birth waters

  of earths running connectedness

    to water and life flowing 

born in wonder and awe

  from hidden depths

    til it surfaces

and all are touched

  from the baptism

    of having entered the gentle 

welcoming hands of Mother

  once again awakening

    the memory of our origin
