Wild Woman
Hummingbirds travel far to hover near her.
Woodland creatures pause to capture her attention.
To be within her aura is healing, soothing, renewing.
She carries the assurance of maternal rightness,
not only in presence but also in action,
not only in action but also in relationship.
Her home is among the living earth,
the forest, the prairie, the rivers.
Her heart blossoms wildflowers and wildness.
And I too, I too, am drawn into her spell.
And I too, I too, am so grateful for who she is.
