Gaia

the root of all things

Gaia

my ancient primordial experience

i was sleeping innocently in her womb

the vibration of her voice energy love felt through my body

in that cradle i was dreaming flowering of

all the trust and love i held for her

i was innocent

in that cradle — the womb

the first breath that I took into the world

births of affairs she’d carried along sprouted through me

the seeds planted were grown to haunt me nearly shuttered

my life

in the tsunamis and the blizzards

for my own survival i held this secret

Gaia

the root of me for so long

i’d explored the mountains and deep into the sea

to find true Gaia

But now… I am standing here returning to my

Gaia

the root of all things happened and not happened

Love
