THE SOUL OF EARTH
 DEDICATED TO |
THE SOUL OF EARTH
Mother Earth
Pours Her Heart Out
To Feed The Land
Give it Birth
For All We See
Has Come To Grow
Flowers, Trees,
Grass, and Seeds
With All The Things
That Touch The Earth
To Grow Within
Her Womb
With All The Life
That Feeds
Upon Her Bosom
To Take From Her
Not Be Giving
For To Chop a Tree
Is To Tear Her Roots
If We Do Not
Replace it with a Tree
To Drill a Hole
Into The Earth
Is To Shoot an Arrow
Right Through
Her Heart
Spilling The Blood
Within Her
To Strip The Land
Is To Wound Her Soul
When We are Taking
Not Replacing
For if We Go On
Doing These Things
Tearing Her Roots,
Stripping Her Soul
Shooting Arrows
Into Her
She'll Erupt and Bellow
Her Mightiest Force
Gushing Forth Her Blood
Like a Mighty Volcano
To Spill Her Fury
Upon The Earth.
A Poeatreeman
The Tree of Life
Comes Only Once
Keep its Branches
Strong and Green
Then You Will Have
The Air To Breathe.
Dedicated To All The Beauty of Nature
A POET'T NOTE
MOTHER EARTH
I once was Here
When Life was Green
I once held Man
Until
He Turned Me Blue
Now we Both
Are Fading Away
NO Wish
Will bring Me back
This Way.
