even in the dark with no moon and no stars I'd find you. my heart is a compass and you're my true north - at land or the sea as long as your heart is beating, I'd find you.

-where she grows / the lovers-

"When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room, / How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick, / Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself, / In the mystical moist night-air..."

The forest is my temple

It was our first temple

Columns, high ceilings and all

Its peace and contemplation

The feeling of a presence

Its presence within us

We can still feel it faintly even now

It whispers to us

Gently

In the wind through the trees

It says

Come home...

Hope Chest

death, hostile and rugged, is surely the fairest force of them all.

I have always said I'd like to be eaten by a beast, but these days, death moves creatively, making it seem to be your own fault.

So when it is my time, which I'm sure will be sooner than I realize - time and death are holding hands in the dark -

bury me in a meadow, wrapped in the family quilt that still smells like a hope chest and marry me to the earth. Cover me in cowhide and braid my hair.

tuck me in - no headstone necessary - and plant a patch of chamomile in the soil of my grave. I will smell their sweet flowers, yellow and white, and fall asleep. - c. rose smith, hearthspeaker

your gods

will mean nothing

at the end.

they mean nothing now,

in the highest peak of the forest,

or in the lowest valleys

they will not save your life

they are not real to the trees and rocks

don’t influence nature

into your capitalist mind scape.

The Song Of The Full Moon, Glowing

by Michele Sommerstein

Beware! I am hunting for a forest on this full moon, glowing In this mundane world of dissatisfaction and routine, I scream “Excess! Where is our excess?!” Excess and happiness that we want, but are afraid to wish for afraid it might come true (or not)

Ooh, don’t you see? This is no night for patrolling one’s will, curbing one’s feelings in farce and fear of consequence, This is the night to roll naked through the fields Let the branches scrape my thighs Let the ground soil my feet, till I smell just like the forest till the forest smells like me Let us be as we wish! As we want! As we will! As our will wishes to be! For We! We are weird! We are what some may consider, a different kind of “freak”

So, let us be free and wild and peculiar! Beautiful, Let me sing the sounds that spill from my mouth at random No need to speculate of the word’s possible poetic value But rather with passion I croon: spirit! fire! dance! Dance! Yes, dance (I say) in this instinctive tangent To the song of the full moon, glowing Till our heart beats to that of the drum, and we feel Laughing in embrace! Can you hear it? The tambour Calling us into the circle! Faster, I say! faster Moving as it takes us, as if it was breathing Second nature! Instinct! As it was meant to be!

We are the bodies we want tonight Can’t you see? This is our awakening! This is our time with the moon Like lovers! Like friends with velvet hats and long feathers, feeding off each other's, energy and inspiration! Exploration! Knowledge! Music! Laughter! Dancing! Happiness! At last, satisfaction! (feeling whole of which we are deserving)

Cover me with the soil of the earth Fill my navel with the minerals from the bottoms of lakes With the paints on your palette, on your finger tip and brush With your mouth and body and mind oozing with imagination Fill me with the knowledge you’ve always wanted to tell me that until now I do not know, While I stare at the full moon tonight We are the full moon tonight, glowing within! Glowing! For we understand our eyes, as we stare at ourselves wide and curious for knowledge We peek and search the unknown crevices of nature and our bodies that so often go unnoticed or repressed, we suddenly notice, and find we make sense

Don’t you see? Tonight it will be more than some primal need, On this night of the full moon, glowing the forest shall smell like we!

I take my new lover to the earth first to see how they love my mother do they talk with the trees do they whisper to leaves and pause to tell me about the beauty they see or do they race to the peak without blinking an eye do they trample the blooms and never look at the sky I take my new lover to the earth first to see how they love my mother because I am she and how you love her is how you'll love me

@ whereshegrows / the lovers
