The Breeze

The breeze

Takes the pages of my thoughts

Ruffles the edges

Carries them through the air

Without a worry

Without a care

Scattering my secrets

Sowing my life

Mother Earth

She lies in the silence
Of an underground world
Skillfully Weaving, Sowing

Reaching up with quiet grace
She lifts the trodden earth
Nourishing Ground, Growing

With the touch of her hand
She’s the essence of life
Eternally Nurturing, Knowing

With beauty she feeds us
From roots underneath us
Mother Earth, Loving, Bestowing

We can Build a Greener Earth

Plant a Tree and give it Birth

Water its Roots, Watch it Grow

Branches budding, from Soil below

Let it Rise above the Sky

Kiss the Clouds as they Roll by

Simply with the Touch of your Hand

As Mother Earth so Lovingly Planned

Love Unsurpassed

Tags

She watches
From the skies above
Never does she age
Her beauty cast
Around the Earth
She is the Mother Sage

Her knowledge
Plants the seeds of life
Upon the sodded ground
And brings to glory
Our planet Earth
A message quite profound

She quenches
Ocean’s mighty thirst
For all under the sea
Schools of fish
Swim round about
Unfettered, fancy free

Calming rainbows
Adorn the sky
The storm has left at last
Mother Earth
Has nourished you
Her love is unsurpassed

My Earth

Looking out the window
Staring at the sun
And thinking softly to myself
Am I the only one

Who dreams of faraway places
Untouched by human greed
A land that is unblemished
One we dare not cede

Perhaps I’m just a dreamer
Perhaps I hope for more
Than chemicals and GMO’s
Found in the grocery store

Perhaps we can accomplish
This very daunting task
Of cleaning up the Earth we love
Without an oxygen mask

Yes, looking out the window
There’s no sun left in the sky
And as a tear rolls down my cheek
I turn my face and cry….
