PEGI EYERS
hands in earth, green growing
cavern sweet with flowers and leaves
(diving deep)
earth that is her body
ten thousand things rise and fall
Ancestors!
Ancestors!
the deepest sound is silence
next to hard rock she can remember
listening ~
not with the ear with the spirit
Ancestors!
Ancestors!
the trail is cold
cave walls echo
………..
summoning
blissful hallowing
voices of earth, archaic whispers
guided, protected and inspired
rhythmic drums and sacred songs
homelands etched on the heart
Ancestors!
Ancestors!
diving deep
earth that is her body

(wings to fly)
rising up to meet the light
