Earthday

Happy Earth Day heart emoticon

as we dream the earth,
the spaciousness of her beauty-
the surrendering to her awe,
she ignites fire into our souls,
brings air to our breath,
that brings our hearts-
to the rhythm of,
the drum song-
that bring out feet,
to the earth dance.
we are drawn-
to the howl song,
of the wind-
to the mighty roar,
of waters that speak of their ache-
their story of wanting and being.
we who plant our feet,
on earth’s floor,
dirt with twigs,
with leaves that,
intertwine death with living,
with the giving being-
of her journey.
let us not spoil our receiving,
but in return-
bring our respectful hearts,
to her presence giving-
we circle of women,
our song that echoes-
Nature’s soul cry,
of the stars,
that whisper to us-
to see with the light,
of our souls-
for us to hold,
in our dreaming-
earth’s thriving,
nurtured by our love.
