The world on your shoulders
radiating your womb with fluids
Like the granary that shadows grains
Sensational diamond amongst creatures
grubbing for grandeur and glamour.

Pleasing and birthing
with your hole, tender desires
Beautiful jewel and keeper
Your chemistry – mysterious!
that echoes a deep affinity with nature.

Wild joy like the world's madness
emptied in your river plate
As grim as the tourist  
winning his destination at daylight
on the grace of your ferry.

Your colour –
soaked in chocolate, baked in wonders.
When your egg is ripe
You nurture with love and might.
Being of complexity, yet magnificent.

That the bird must return to it's nest with food and wine
for the hungry mouths, the thirsty tongues.
Your being is priceless and full of myth
That it stimulates my spirit with curiosity
On where exactly sourced your unique existence.
