I Am
I am a tendril, in gentle unfurl,Emerging anew, in the dance of the world.Beneath my cover, a caterpillar lies,Tethered by silken threads, under vast skies.

Pastel eggs hide in grass so green,Each a sunrise, a hope to glean.Miniature miracles nestled with care,Waiting for seekers, a treasure to share. In the rising son, dew drops gleam bright,Illuminating rebirth, Continue reading

A Holy interlude
Green leaves heavy with dewdrops,The ground soft and wet,Fertile soil between my toes. Raw, naked, unraveling… I cleave the cleansing watersA pinpoint of joy and sorrowA fragment of dust and ashes A tree struck by lighteningIn this holy interlude between Living and dyingRenewing and entwiningThe moonlight softly whispering “ebb and flow.”©️ 2023 MW / Mother Wintermoon Continue reading
