Child of Earth and Sky

A Poem About Reconnecting

By Libby BrittainPublished 5 years ago • 1 min read

My chest rises and falls as I allow my body to melt into the sandy arms of Pachamama; Mother Earth.

She is the Mother who has never left us.

Our heart beats synchronize.

Recalibrate as Grandfather Sun warms my shoulder blades and invisible wings.

My Brothers and Sisters of the Wind and Sea sing to me.

Welcoming me home.

A salt-filled tear streams down my face and into my Mother’s hands as I remember...

I am one.

I am whole.

The Sun. The Sky.

The Earth. The Moon.

The Sea. The Wind.

The Sand. The Stars.

This is my family.

A Seagull calls, “I love you,” off shore.

My face smiles as my heart expands;

open with gratitude.

Forevermore.

I originally wrote this piece in October of 2017 while visiting one of my favorite places: Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The beauty of the day nourished my spirit so much that I felt inspired to write it down on paper and thus Child of Earth and Sky was created.

I hope you enjoyed this poem. Please be sure to check out my other writing pieces here on Vocal. And if you feel called, tips are always much appreciated. They allow me to continue to create, share, and do the work I love as a shaman and intuitive animal communicator.
