Mother Earth by Dee Pei Hui

I rest my head /upon her bosom

It rises and falls /like the tides /the comfortable lull /of her salty breath

or the sun /the warmth emanating /till it reaches the crevices /of the cracked earth /

beneath my feet

Her arms cradle me /and I am a baby once again /crying my first gasp of air /reborn

She whispers love into my ears /like the singsong wind blowing /between willow trees

I dream of birds /and their call for mates /and imagine I didn’t lose one myself
