Good Medicine - NaPoWriMo

Good Medicine

Submerged (and light) up past my heart

In a swirling, whirling, fractal current 

Of a shiny green river rolling cold and clean 

Down from the mountains and away

Far away.

But here in this place, in this space

--Under mountain skyline and dome of blue heavens--

First splicing, weaving, linking

With the heat from deep within

My Mother (Earth)

Where her nectar rises to meet me

To envelop and hold me

Like any good Mother.

Soothing my soul with good medicine.

Note:  This is an installment of my endeavor to write a Poem-A-Day in honor of April being National Poetry Month.  If you want to take part in the annual celebration of all thing poetry consider signing up to receive a poem each day in your email courtesy of the Academy of American Poets.  Or take participate in Poem-in-Your-Pocket Day on April 27th.  There are also loads of Poem-a-Day challenges on the local and international level to inspire creativity and hone the art of poetry writing.
