For many months to come
She will rest, and
Fold herself into herself.

Glorious earth mother
Settles in her cave, contemplates
Her bright beauty

Fading with each shorter day.
Sultry raindrops
Glisten her bosom.

Earth mother
Sings louder
We can hear her,
Our longing eyes watch her
Fold herself into herself.

Peaceful, Agreeable,
Her golden motherly smile,
We cherish on this short day.

Teach us your presence,
As we contemplate how long
We have left on this journey.

Teach us your patience,
As we yearn for more from this journey.

Fold us into your amber bosom,
We find comfort in your slumber song.
