A Mother God – v5

The metaphor of life

the Vine, like the womb,

the umbilical cord;

but more than this, eternal

never to be severed, never cut

the vine a part of us, lifelong

feeding us, giving us strength

that we all may live

A connection to God, eternal

to one another, a family of faith

living in, abiding in the vine

abiding in God, in the love of God

a Mother God, in the nature of the vine

helping us bear fruit, a harvest

a message for a hungry world

that we all may live
