John Cranmer: Crystallized Rebecomings **

Gaia!


Lay me deep within the earth


Buried deep within your tectonic infoldings


In those Places
squeezed within the intensity of subduction


In those Places
that welcome the uprising of volcanic fury


Finding your Place
of deep-time gestational transformation


Held in your Secret Womb Mysteries
of crystallized recastings


Holding my age-long awareness
strong within your hiddenness


Awaiting translucent emergings
as you open up your Rich Gem Wonders
to the light of our shared Sun

Beneath the shade of thorn and holly-tree;
The west wind breathes upon them, pure and cold,

In secret woodland with her company.
'Tis thought the peasants' hovels know her rite
When now the wolds are bathed in silver light,
And first the moonrise breaks the dusky grey,
