You are the earth---
deep, rich, fertile,
veiled yet visible for
all to see.
You are ancient and
infinitely present.
You can be stern and unforgiving,
yet also boundlessly compassionate
to those who love You.
You are ever an abode to life
and receive the dead into Your womb.
The gentleness of Your desires seeks
those who would be touched by magic---
and the seeds grow.
