It is the Child

of distant upheaval, having
erupted from Gaia's womb 
with insolent energy,
hot tempered and restless,
a brazen interloper 
in the community of land. 
Blasted into submission
by the implacable depths
and relentless skies,
ravished by raw life,
it was made yielding and pliable,
a malachite gemstone 
surrounded by the arms
of its adopted mother.
Come stand in its 
indulgent night
with me 
and feel the
strength
of its 
gentle infinity.
