earth

if i be a girl
far more i am the earth
and if i be the earth
i am the woman
i was meant to be

that which comes
from deep within me
strengthens you

sustains you
my waters console you

and cleanse you

though you know me well
i remain a mystery
my winds

the breath of God
my mouth

the movement of a prayer

my gifts

are for your wealth
to be used

or be not used
as you command

but in the end
even in your death

i take you in
and when i again

spring forth
it is with life

from your blood
that courses through me

FE, no one else is as eloquent as you are in capturing the female experience of love and life. How deep you reach inside to share and expose from the inside to the outside. Touch me with love.

ditto on what gypsy girl said.

your writing is very revealing and sensual and there is always some lasting lines that stay with you.
