Enchant Me!
Enchanted, I wander through misty meadows
Gazing at trees, grasses, and flowers
Wondering
How this magical place became what it is today
Who were the artists, the hands that carved the rocks
Who scooped out the seas
Who planted the first seeds
And who oversees Gaia now?
A Big Bang
A quantum leap
A god or goddess
Bursting stars
Magnetized dust
Or, all of the above and more?
The Enchantress narrows her focus
Takes out an arrow, placing it in her bow
Stabbing me with a gut wrenching blow
Knocking the breath out of me
I fall down, grabbing my solar plexus
She has hunted me
Time after time
Racing to catch up to my
Speed, my moving with rapid
Electrical impulses
Not just running away necessarily
But always running fast
Stop! She bellows
(I am punched)
If you won’t slow down
Just stop and lie here still
(She puts her massive foot on my belly)
I have you now
(wickedly laughing)
I keep giving you chance
After chance to pull together
To stabilize and listen carefully
Although you are clever and cunning
And slide so swiftly in and out of reality
But, I can still catch you, she blurts
I am proud of myself but also
Fearful about her great power
I cower under that large
Heavy foot
OK, I give, I say
At that point, she disappears
Flowing toward the mountains
Creating no havoc, just floating along
Beckoning me to follow
Seduced, I stand, I jump up into the air
Warm breezes carry me to
A lofty cliff where she awaits
Planning to create a waterfall
She whispers, Dive down with me
The water will come
You have to trust me
Sophia Gaia proclaims
I will do you no harm
We sail out into the air
I transform into a alligator
She becomes a snake
We fall down (or glide)
Fast toward the earth, but
Before we crash
Into ground, waters gush
Behind us and carry us
Swiftly above the
Stones that would have
Smashed us up badly
What now?
Do you trust me now?
Sophia Gaia asks, proudly
Can you turn water into wine? I mutter
I just did, you silly, she responds
As I turn toward her this time
I hear thunder
I see lightning
Have I displeased her or
Is she just done with me?
I slowly transform back to the person
I am, the soul I have always been
Life after life
Death after death
Feeling a little lighter
A little stronger
Certainly more courageous
I lapse into a silent walk
Slower and more reflective somehow
Moving toward my next encounter with
The Enchantress
