Mother Earth

In

In darkness
In silence
Lies the creative power
In tears
In sadness
Are hidden
Shapes, words, tunes
That in moments
Of calm reflections
Erupt to the surface
And take shape.

I honor this darkness
I honor those tears
I honor the moments
Of intense pain
I no longer want to disassociate myself
From that which is mine
From that which is me
It makes me real
It makes me whole
