Homecoming

Great Mother,
ineffable, boundless and free,
how far down to the center of the earth do you dwell,
sourcing us there as your own?
We, your children
your angels
your missing parts?

Why is it that you hide there,
waiting over lifetimes for us to find you?
Or, am I the one hiding
while you wait…
