Terra Firma

Escoita!

she calls
to you,
yearning
for your return
to this place you knew not before.
terra firma.


Bound
in poetry and magic,
and the ethereal.


Steeped
in terrific fantasy,
and mystery manifest.


Seasoned 
by tears
surrendered for lost sons.


Appreciated,
for her bounteous beauty
and wondrous delights.


Courted
by way
of this love
for you.


so listen, and
harken back
to the shadow,
to ancestral dream
and whispered rhythms.
rhythms your ancestors never
knew
they knew.


listen,
for you are home.


listen,
and let her fall
once more,
deep
into
you.
