Hymn to Kunapipi

 

First Mother of the Aborigines of Australia

 

Dear Kunapipi,

Great Kunapipi,

I do not forget you

as I climb back into your holy womb

to make contact with my spirit soul,

crawling into the crescent vessel

of your protection

dug deep into the soil of your body,

carved into the precious earth beneath me.

 

I beckon to my spirit soul

which lives within you

until my time of finishing this life

and though I leave your womb

at this initiation time,

though I choose to climb out

from your nurturing warmth,

to live my years of life,

I ask you to care for my spirit soul

until my return

so that after my passing from this life

my two spirits may be reunited in you,

before you send me forth again

to once more live on earth.

 

Dear Kunapipi,

no matter how far I wander,

how many lives I live -

to you I shall always return.
