Otter in the water

i was visited by a playful otter
swimming and floating on her back,
a river otter

she is a mother, and
as she floats on her back
her children crawl on her belly
for a ride,
until one by one
they dive off her belly and
into the river
playing amongst themselves

she cracks food on the rock
on her belly, her sacral chakra

my sacral chakra
is well defended
my wounds are there
and heavily protected

she visits me
reminding me
of the playful side of life
the otter-ness
that needs no defense

may the playful, nurturing,
feminine, watery energy
of the otter in the water
remain with me always
