Child of the Earth

Have you seen her
the child of the earth?
Resting, feet planted
in shallow waters
alive with fish,
legs wreathed in sapling leaves,
the fire of the sun in her belly,
arms ablaze with golden flames.

Smell the flowers that blossom
from her young breasts.
Sea the birds nestling
in the crook of her neck.
I want to touch the crescent moon
imprinted on her forehead
and wonder at the arc of stars
blazing in the purple skies
above her head.

Lie back in the spring fields
that flow from her back
and be as one
with the child of the earth.
