The May Tree on the Moor
I am the May tree.
I am womankind.
I am rooted deep in earth,
come, comfort find.
I have come to leaf.
I will burst in flower.
Wrap yourself around me.
Leave the traces of your fire.
I will bear you fruit.
You will reap the wine.
Though I love you through all time,
You may never find the key
to the impenetrate reaches
of my mind.
Poem by Debbie Day
