Desert
By Heidi
– after she spent the weekend at Living Waters Spa
The desert
holds the sun in its heart, the moon in its soul.
Time began
here in this endless stretch of Earth.
Ancient,
cracked and wrinkled.
Old oaks and
shrubs, baked
and well done.
Somewhere down
deep there lies
Soothing
relief from toil
A cavern of
liquid minerals,
Warm and Dark
Soft, welcoming waters
Soaked into my
tissues
And entrained
my body
To their sweet
earthy frequency
The
surrounding Universe came in closer
As I lay there
limp
A tremor of
joy
Rushed through
my Senses
I had never
seen the moon so bright.
As it rippled
through the palms’ green frawn-fingers
I felt Her light upon my skin
Her Electric
blue-moon body
Of simple,
quiet beauty
As I
surrendered more deeply
Frenzied
thought-forms
Silt-like
Drained into
the earth below
And She rocked me
Gently into
the night
