Dark MotherBleed your colors to the ground,
let them swirl in the vortex of your breath.
The gathering chill escaped from your lungs
whispers the green earth into death.

quivering deep within the ground.
Harm us not, but let us hear
the power of that sound.
The wheel is turning, always turning
as the sun falls from the sky.
Mother can you tell me,
oh can't you tell me why?
Dark Mother, stir your cauldron
deep living waters of rebirth.
Wash clean this wretched wreckage
we have wreaked upon the earth.
Dark Mother, shall we reap
all that we have sown?
When spring returns will you be there?

Mother can you tell me,

Tragic BeautyI remember lying in my hospital bed at the physical rehabilitation facility, far too many years ago, staring at a picture of a little girl.

In The Shade of Summers Pastby =LadyofGaerdon

Contests / 2011 / New Beginnings in Nature

Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. Late Summer. This is where the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers converge and it is gorgeous. These are the ruins of an old railroad bridge, in the process of being taken back by the river and woodlands.

The new beginning I see is the chance for the natural environment to flourish once again.
