I am…

I am Earth

Raw, passionate,

Fragrantly alive

In my cool bluegreens

And lusty reds

Deep, sensuous,

Warm, musty, abundant

Vibrant, mysterious

 

I am River

Overflowing limits

Of bonding banks

Sinuous, laughing

Tremulous, turbulent

Stretching  lithe curves

On the way to join

My deep blue sea

 

I am Sea

Eternal, longing

Unconquered depths

Of timeless treasures

Forbidden mystery

Tireless, beckoning

Fathomless, calm

Stormy, tempestuous

 

I am Mountain

Silent, menacing

Darkly brooding

Secret caves

Of hidden turmoil

Fiery passions

Of violent fervor

Cooling mists

Serene, tranquil

I am Earth

            River

               Sea

                 Mountain

I am Woman
