Sliver of the Moon

When first saw the sliver of the moon
what astonished me was the star shining
to the left high and above
the sliver of the moon
only a fraction

yet
the star shoned bright
was it venus
or was it jupiter

do the stars rule
of do the stars follow me

a young girl
yearning for her father's love
what can a mother do
other than
be the mother herself

shining the way
to another way

accept me for who I am
mother of the earth
goodness to surface

life
to expand

mother of the earth
do we truly cherish
the freshness
of renewness

mother earth
to you
shall I honor
soil to the depth
of creation
made
with no regret

mother of the earth
bound to me
your legacy

so many tales
so many tokens
token of promise unbroken

life moves on
in the direction of the sun
planting todays of tomorrows

rejoicing
worshiping
life of today
without dismay

mother of the earth
bountiness endlessness
wake up to breathe
the air
of non
disease
mother of the earth
soiled
with all its tenderness
yes
with the newborn calves
hiding in the fields
oh yes
life in all its mysteries
discovering
uniqueness
to the alberquerities

another word
made up

yes the majistic ways
of the mother of the earth
what are words
powerful
yet from the heart
only divine
