BODHI OF THE EARTH
Traversing the liminal realms,
In the space between,
Becoming comfortable
with the unknown.
Trusting in the emptyness,
As I remember I am forever held
By the great mother,
Her limbs outstretched,
She so lovingly catches me,
When all feels lost.
When the heart breaks,
She is the warmth
That balms my soul,
She is the light that
pours through the cracks of my being,
Her roots grounding me into the earth,
As I surrender to her fertile caress.
She dances through me,
and lifts me up,
As a Bodhi of the earth
Arising in her infinite love.
