She Is...

She stands proud, reaching to sky,

into the heavens as she remains

grounded in Earth.

 

She is the buck whose antlers

touch the sky as it rises

up on the outcropping of rock.

 

She is the raven who caws

from the treetop waving in wind,

firmly rooted to the forest ground.

 

She is snow falling from sky,

drifting to frozen soil

to sink deep in spring.

 

She is the flowering

the ripening, the falling

the dying.

 

She is the Ground of Being

rising, ever rising into form,

ever sinking into the unknown to be born.

She is…
