Mama Pacha

Thank you for regaling me with amazing friendships

that defy time and space

that last for all of my hearts duration

Thank you for allowing me to witness all of this love

that comes from you and your husband

the resplendent star-stricken-night sky

Thank you for the morning dew bathing my house

with your life giving essence

in its most magical form

Thank you for all the magnificent views

of your curves and dips

teaching me the true nature of everything outside of you

Thank you a million times thank you

for the wonderful music of your nature altars

and for the people who sing your song with passion and soul

Thank you for the maize and the bison

pillars of this material dream you allow us to experience

always teaching even if we aren't learning

Thank you for the cetaceans

the most talented performers of your play

your most devoted caregivers

Thank you for the blood you shed

even though we use it to fuel killing machines

so that we may see more of you

Thank you for the lavender mist

that hits my nostrils and penetrates the inner most chambers

of this brain and this spirit

Mama pacha

thank you

for putting up with us.
