Daughter of the Earth

[MeadowLark]

Please tell me what you think! I am always interested in improving! I haven't written in a while, though I have written a lot in the past. The inspiration for this came today in the car, and I was able to capture it, luckily.


A mother's child,
Enveloped within her,
Suspended,
Between land and sky.

Her gentle hand
Calms her restless child,
Cleanses and coddles,
With power and grace.

She entices her daughter,
To love,
To share,
To give.

Her voice reverberates,
An infinite etching
Within the soul of her seed.

Her daughter knows,
The smell, the sight, the sound;
Her Mother's love,
Displayed in all that is.

Her daughter knows, too,
That she is not permanent,
But her essence,
Will always be.

For in her kindness,
Her love for all things;
In her stillness
And understanding,
She will leave herself behind.

And when her Mother holds her,
Cold within the soil,
She knows,
Then, too, she will live on,
Nourishing her Mother,
As her Mother
Nourished her.

That's lovely have you thought of entering this for the forthcoming eisteddfod ?

[MeadowLark]

Thank you Heddwen!

I only just now learned of the Eisteddfod competition! But, I will certainly consider entering it. Sounds like fun!

Indeed this is a very gentle and loving poem.

It is reverberating
an infinite etching
within my soul ....

Blessings to you !

Thank you, Philippe!
