Tough Love

A poem about feeding life with life

Step like you mean it

Mother Earth thrives when her children take pride in being alive
She is life feeding on life, endlessly
Divine as she is, you can step light as a feather if you please,
But be warned, it won't even tickle on her skin

Now don't be shy, caress the Great Mother with your feet
With confident steps of devotion, offer her your courage

Gaia triumphs when ebullient with lifeforce energy, forever circulating
As a good mother, she offers herself
Trusting you to feed on life, and let life feed on you

Take all roles and show Pachamama you can do her dance
What a grandiose sign of affection, to be predator and prey
Let her gorge on you and prepare to reap

Here in the physical world, the land of action, where all manifests
Feel, hear, see, smell, devour, kiss, touch
Breathe deep and loud
Make love, guffaw, roar, bawl
Open up your mouth, feed on life, and offer it all back
