Remembrance

The moment I touched the earth,

Flesh upon flesh,
Innocence upon innocence,
She called to me from her womb.
Seeing my pain,
The rawness of my unworthiness,
She enveloped me one breath at a time.
Until I could no longer feel myself, a reflection of my woundedness.
Until I could feel her.
Just her.
Stroking my hair, caressing my body,
Soothing me until I no longer felt alone,
Belonging to a part of that womb which has nourished me since I entered this realm.
The Goddess embodied in a place that could sometimes be unholy,
Taking my breath and making it her own.
Reminding me that holiness can be found everywhere I lay my feet upon the ground, upon her.
Earth to earth.
Child to womb.
Soul to soul.
I love you.
