my creation story
I was born into this world, seeded from the stars
bourn on the wind, rooted into the earth
nurtured by sunlight, nourished by rain
tentatively breaking ground
from deep in the dark and dank
rich core of Mother Gaia
stretching out of her womb
seeking light and air
expanding and exploring
fragile baby shoot at first
limber young sapling soon
tall straight majestic tree
Yggdrasil, world tree
Grand Father tree
Grand Mother tree
Elders all three
shooting for the stars and sky
home to countless creatures
sustenance and sanctuary
feeding, fed, fruitful
every cell and atom ever useful
consumed and all used up
each distinct at the start
dispersed through years
diffused from wear
dust to dust
blowing apart in the wind
floating up in a spiral
released and returned
up up and away
into sacred space
into the vast cosmos
made divine and eternal
