I bleed, and from my body
flows a stream
uniting me with all that’s
fruitful in the earth.
I swell, and celebrate
the ripening corn, the apple
and the yeast which multiplies
the cells, sustaining life.
I feel
the rhythm of the tides
which rise and fall and draw
all waters to the sea.
And deep within my body
a lake reflects the glow that lights the night,
mirroring the moon,
pure centre of the rhythm that I share.
