The Mud of Oneness

Poetry exists every step of the way, on Earth Day and every day

Feel the Earth with receptive soles | Original photo © 2021

Barefoot feet hear the ground sing, feel nature bring forth living things, taste the earthy birthing of silt and loam, step through puddle-ooze and fecund froth, absorb sacred majesty of ground’s holy worth, and sink like faithful seeds into the primal mud of oneness, soul grinning, soles greeting the desirous rib of complicated Adam, the softer side of curious Eve.

Nothing says “Earth Day” like an earthy poem published in response to The POM’s writing challenge for National Poetry Month!
