Tellus Mater

come and lie with me and caress my hills and valleys calm my restless trembling with your soft and tender touch divert your cool and vigorous rivers to my parched and aching lips, then ease my fiery flow to a trickle in the ocean quench my feverish longing and gorge my fibrous veins gently soften the crust of my barren and sunbaked skin roots will root again reaching out for the source of plenty replenished and renewed, I will render your love in tenfold
