O Earth, wrap me
in your leaves -
heal me.
Let me fall
under Earthbreast -
feed me.
Sing to me
under the round nests
in your cedar trees.
Embrace me
when I sleep
in your shade.
Let your eye keep me
protected and cool -
hide me.
Warm me
with naked summer
kisses and
Cloister me
Around
with wild flowers.
Refresh me
with springs
and living waters.
Draw me down
into your well
of rebirth and
Let my wounds
Open
and empty
Into your wonderful
Compost
heap.
Then fill me
with your fruit
and bread, start over,
Let my wounds
become fertile
gardens and
Let me be,
let me live
again.
Alla Renee Bozarth
