Upspring

After this longest and coldest of internal winters

I feel the ground rumbling from beneath

As forces of spirit and energy

Allow the fronds of life

To piece the crust of earth

As spring returns to the other side

Of the world

Place of my ancestoral deep

Here on the Southern side

We swelter in unseasonal heat

As despair grows

With fear for mother nature

But there is too

‘A feeling of more

Seeking to rise

An authentic cry of truth

From deep within the body

A longing to be unmasked fron dread

To fully recognise the consequences

Of what has led

Us to

Here

Darkest of nights

Kali Yuga

We are rising in consciousness

Through containing powerful forces

Of destruction unleashed

But how long will it take

For us to awaken

As upspring

Of vernal fountainhead

Begins to rise

And we shed and say goodbye

To ages of hidden power

And grief
