She is of the roots

 

She is of the roots

She plays in the plants
And the stones speak to her
She watches the mothers
And the sisters
Living breathing water crystals
They form like tears
In moments of terror and rage
She slips in at that precise time
Catching holding
Reshaping and setting free
All the lives arise from her
They covet her open secrets
They attempt to manage her 
she will always be wild
swirling within
Waves of an ancestral sea
Watching from under you
Watching from over you
Expanding and contracting
Inside you
