Uma

Womben! Stand strong for Me,

your brown feet parched, cracked,

venerable like an ancient tree,

rooted in earth, caressing rock,

extending Chi, reality,

past/future, body/spirit,

held safe

in the loving heart/womb of now,

fingers branches intertwined

reaching for hope and freedom,

dancing windblown,

full-moon with child,

your bodies shrines,

despite all disrespect,

rich despite 'poverty,'

chanting, drumming,

dancing timeless as a dream,

celebrating My name,

bearing beauty, hope, and life

as fruit.
