Nature Maiden

My experiences, connection and views of Mother Earth.

I am married to the earth

A natural child-

I was bore from wildflowers

I'm free and wild-

On the wings of butterflies

Under sunny skies

On tree tops so high-

Which sway as they wave to the open skies.

Majestic birds fly and fly

Watching me as they go by.

 

I feel the winds

As they touch my skin

I embrace them

Before they leave again-

Carried away

To another stretch

Of mountains and flowers

And quiet serenity-

Leave me here as I am free,

Free as I want to be-

I am your maiden.

                                   

Among these pines

And my hands sunken

Into the warm earth,

The aromas provoke my mind-

You can't see me here

This is my dwelling-

Picking wild thyme and

Concealed among the sticky pines

Coyotes calling as they ride-

I don’t see them because they hide.

 

I lay on the warm rubble                           

Of what's left from another time-

Only this foundation remains

I bathe upon it in the warm sunshine.

Up so high & miles wide

Like the fog among tree tops I playfully reside.

Quiet and serene

Renewing my mind

My heart smiles inside-

I am whole here

I am your maiden.

 

As I tend to her

With love & respect

It's only here I connect

I am lost outside this circle

All I need is here-

I can't go back

For my soul would feel neglect

I am her keeper,

Her maiden.

 

Until I am one with her again

And I bear new wildflowers-

It's in this circle of life that again I'll be wild and free,

I'll be the warm wind that hugs you

Under blue sunny skies…

I am your Nature Maiden,

Please tend to me.

This is one of the most great poems i have read in this site. The imagery is so exquisite and the poem has a flawless flow to it. Thank you for sharing, "I REALLY LOVE THIS" .

Beautifully written, free like nature, I could smell the pines in the breeze as I was reading this. Has a lovely feeling of renewal to it, like you feel born again when you breathe fresh air after a week of sucking on car fumes in the city.
As ever Connie, superb.
