EARTH SONG

From fallow ground

raided by weeds

lying low, dormant

since eons; now

nursing a sip of dew

springs…

a sapling of viable ancestry

progeny of yesteryear

Wild dahlia, white

long buried and forgotten

prises its past

rears its head once again

simmering snowflakes or stars

kindling dreary landscape

declares…

the Womb of the Earth

is forever fertile.

Padmaja Parulkar
