Pacha Mama

I have sworn an oath
Ancient beyond known years
To protect her
My grandmother
My mother
My sister
My niece
Myself
As the winds swirl along her frozen lake shores
Grains of sand carried to faraway lands
Tree tops bend with ease
Water is whipped into spray upon her breeze
She calls forth to those
Who committed long ago
Beyond all memory
To our intuitive impulse
Come hither children
Your purpose is now
Earth is born anew
