GAIA'S DREAM

 

Gaia dreams
the walls of patriarchy are crumbling.
Under midnight stars,
at the 11th hour on Planet Earth,
we contemplate what new thing
may emerge from the ruins
of human conquest.

Wise goddesses are waiting
in the wings, ready to forge a trail
through the bracken
back to the Old Ways:
ways of life, not death.

They beckon we people of Green Fire
to follow them and learn their ways.

As we earthlings awaken
and walk the path
of transformation and restoration,
the Black Snake will dry up
and fade away.
Green life and all animals
will flourish.

Mother Earth and all her creatures
will breathe clean air
once again.

For when Gaia dreams,
she always dreams
in green.
