Motherland: Calling
The illusioned glass reflects the lucent moon
Lunacy descends upon the mountain wolves
Autumn's awe inspires the lucid minds
Transgressions and acts of illicit kinds
Verdant meadows bejeweled with strings of dews
Tornado trembles the naked trees
The hooting owls an omen bring.
The water snakes leave behind their lace skin
A wealth of children’s imagining
The indelible ink of my
Motherland tattoos my psyche
The whistling grass echoes
My motherland:
For me, she calls.

This is so haunting and
This is so haunting and attuned to the essence of nature. I get the feeling that from the fourth line that the Mother land is spoilt by illicit dealings, which is so sad.
Loved that first stanza, just needed to drink it in:
The illusioned glass reflects the lucent moon
Lunacy descends upon the mountain wolves
Autumn's awe inspires the lucid minds
Transgressions and acts of illicit kinds
Verdant meadows bejeweled with strings of dews
Tornado trembles the naked trees
I could see there's a longing to be home to where life began. Just had to let you know your poem was inspiring.
Jenny.
