On Stage

Standing there so confident,
You have your audience spell-bound,
Words dripping like honey; sweet and alluring.
A tiny smile plays across your lips,
Your eyes lit from within.
Immersed in the spirit of your words,
Aroused by the strength of your beliefs.

Who would have thought a moment ago,
You were plagued with anxiety
With trembling hands and knees,
Stomach churning with nerves.
Creased with worry were your brows,
I had to warm your icy hands with mine,
Whisper words of encouragement and comfort to you,
Assure you of greatness,
A wonderful reception,

Your words heeded.
My pride in you.
Seeing you up there,
So confident,
Strong.
Happy for you, I am.
Mine no longer,
Gift to the world.

Earth Mother

Out of me
I sprung you forth
And as a good mother
I nourished you


I slowly churn your excess
Taking it back to myself
I give to you expecting not too much
Respect thats all I ask

All you do is take, take, take
And I give, give, give
Till I can no more
My churning is slower than your taking

I am drying up
Listen to me, child!
I am drying up
My belly is quaking
My eyes are welling
My heart is burning
Listen! child,
Heed my warning
