The Mother

in amongst the roots, the creature rests
rests from its nightly excursion
its hunt for life's sustainance
the cool, dark recesses of the hollow
call to its wounds, calls for its healing
the earth replenishes those in need
you have only to sink down
down into her welcoming embrace
give yourself up to her motherly aura
she soothes with her cadence
rocks you with her hum
brightens your thirsting soul with her purpose
