Petal Heart Chambers
By Nerida W
There’s songs in green spaces
Lyrics that give beat to petal heart chambers
Shape-shifting syncopation
Ant small and canopy high
Whispered words that propagate with Spring
Tangent voices ride the wind
Soothing patient ancient seedling ears
Pressed to the earth's rhythmic centre
Listen as surface stories ripple streams
Chanting all we know and dreams
Sip with silenced lips
Arcing traditions and reedy retellings
Dive, if you dare
Deep into the murky green
Where the magic bides its time
Unseen
Concentric circles of the past present bloom
Open wide the watery core
Ancient tidings and life-giving lore
