Spring Goddess
Poem for Spring and Mother's Day--Remember to Honor the Mother Earth this day!
Date: 5/14/2006 3:21:32 AM ( 18 y ) ... viewed 1534 times As I kneel to put in the seeds in
careful as stitching, I am in love.
You are the bed we all sleep on.
You are the food we eat, the food
we ate, the food we will become.
We are walking trees rooted in you.
You can live thousands of years
undressing in the spring your black
body, your red body, your brown body
penetrated by the rain. Here
is the goddess unveiled,
the earth opening her strong thighs.
Marge Piercy,
"The Common Living Dirt,"
from Stone, Paper, Knife
as reprinted in Heron Dance magazine, Issue 50
