Her senses are tied to the roots of the trees<\/p>\n
She sways her hips like that of the rolling waters<\/p>\n
Her body illuminates the darkness that envelopes me<\/p>\n
As I float there in the frozen waters, I watch as she pulls the moon closer to the terra and listen to her stormy songs of the night sea<\/p>\n
Every creature of flight, every cricket, every grasshopper and frog adhere to her serenade and sing along in glorious harmony<\/p>\n
I fall low into the depths of their song, my body lets go as I sink deeper into the dark blue sea<\/p>\n
This mother of Earth, this Goddess of the lake with her golden robes and indigo feathers reaches out to me<\/p>\n
Her arms reaches for mine, as we touch I am struck with the strength of my sisters, thousands, pulling me up and out from my briny deep<\/p>\n
I was submerged with all of mine and the world’s icy cold tears<\/p>\n
Drowning within all of the lands’ murky fears<\/p>\n
But this Goddess of the Sea, my sister in arms, with all of her Earthly possessions saved me from inner harm<\/p>\n
She gifted me her force<\/p>\n
She gifted me her songs<\/p>\n
She gifted me her beauty<\/p>\n
…her form…her intense silence of the night<\/p>\n
Her cries became my cries<\/p>\n
Her tears are my sacred waters<\/p>\n
Inherently, I am she<\/p>\n
the Goddess of the Earthly Seas<\/p>\n
