Loves us as no other
Nourishes us with abundance
Accepts us unconditionally
Surrounds us with their beauty.
Provides powerful healing energy
Is joyful when we are happy
Always supports and ground us
Her preciousness held deep within.
Her support unlimited
Wind to cool and cleanse us
Colours yellows, blues, greens, white
To feed our eyes and soul.
Air to breath and enliven us
Water to drink and wash us
Oceans to float and feed us
Clouds to watch over us
Sky to travel through indefinitely.
Mountains to climb and telescope from
Rivers to support all life
Streams to sit by and listen to
Rocks to admire, sit and jump on
Deserts to see far and wide, sunsets
Meadows to run and roam on.
Water falls to admire, swim below
Lakes to enjoy stillness, clarity and reflections
Trees to worship, climb, lean against
Flowers to appreciate, expand and contract with.
Live amongst her various creatures
Crabs, buffalo, spiders, giraffes, mosquitos
Humans least appreciative and respectful
Scientists explorations, meditations, prayer.
Always revolving and evolving on
Our greatest heart-full teacher
Mother Earth our Temporary home.
Mother Earth,
