Tirra Lirra – poems, prayers and meditation
Home Faces of Love Ladder of Acceptance Cycle of Light Comfort and Consolation Meditation + prayer Meeting stories Other stories Nature poems Other poems Aphorisms	This Land This land longs for my weight, wishes for my breath, yearns for my voice. The wind is singing me to it, the grasses waving me welcome. This land gave me life and abides in me. Here, I am needed and must stay. My feet will walk this earth where I am known. I will rest in the shade by the creek; breathing damp air on soft skin. Here, I will crumble into dust and become, once more, this land that knows me. Australian poet and writer, Gillian Savage, shares her nature poems, love poems, and poetry of fate. Meditations and prayer are here too. Oh, and some stories. Wikipedia says that 'aphorism' (literally distinction or definition, from Greek) denotes an original thought, spoken or written in a laconic and easily memorable form. The name was first used in the Aphorisms of Hippocrates. The term came to be applied later to other sententious statements of physical science and later still to statements of all kinds of philosophical, moral or literary principles.
