Tethered

I am not chained to shore but floating free on your surface, tethered by your tide, the sun licking my face, the salt buoying me up with the swell of your laughter.
I am a gull hanging on your thermals, high as a kite. I am dissolving in you today and will go which way your wind blows.
I am clean with you, stripped to bone and soul, dripping with your delight. You are so full I might burst.
Lick me earthbound, snuggle me soft as a puppy asleep on your milk.

Jane’s writing links a love of this planet, its rocks and oceans, trees and bees, with awareness of the intimacy and wildness of God. It is a way of growing closer to the things she writes about, it is a way of growing in love.

Holding each being lightly as only love can
