An Experiment with chant poetry

I’ve wanted to write some poetry lately so I took the epigram from my book Ripples in the Milkyway and expanded it into a chant poem. Let me know what you thinking.

Earth means Ground

There is a power that courses through this land.

Courses beneath rocks and trees.

There is a power that was not meant for us, but we feel it.

We feel it in our hearts and in our bones.

There is a power, it bends us to it’s will, as the wind bends the branch.

We flutter, sway, and break at it’s will.

There is a power that courses through this land,

There is a heart and soul deep in the bones of this land,

it permeates the air.

Feel the power tingle on your skin and whisper through your hair.

Listen, know, without translation.
