My tribute to Mother Earth ….

We are ever grateful Mother Earth

We place our feet on Mother Earth

You never fail us dear Mother Earth

Leaves spiraling down in dance to Earth

Colours so varied come to join the Earth

Dew drops like diamonds come from Earth

We are only transient here on Earth

So we give Reiki, do good while on Earth

Lotus group makes strong this Earth

For we may not traverse again this Earth

Celebrate the morning light full of mirth

The sun ablaze to bathe this Earth

The sun warms Mother Earth it’s need

Breaks the sky into bronze and rust indeed

We give obeisance in prayer we bid

In our breath and word and every deed

Place crystals all directions in every bed

Invoking high energy for all who need

Then at night in gratitude the dusky Earth

Shades of warm peach turn dark the Earth

A signal to join in prayer, repose on Earth

The circadian rhythm, balanced on Earth

We bow down to you for bounty of Earth

This day every day is glory to this Earth

Mother Earth

When we think of Mother Earth

Full of innovation is Mother Earth

Embracing us just as mother does

Unconditional and ever present for us

This Mothers Day  she whispers of rain

Makes the birds hide and appear again

The asphalt bursts in sparks silver rain

The rain drops bounce off into the drain

Now  andante, now piccolo fall the rain

How I love the rhythm of the falling rain

It rises to a crescendo trees falls

Roots to the sky and lies supine boles

The wind dies and the moan stops

Back to Mother Earth the tree goes

Other trees pick up the rhythm in a shiver

Plays the melody like an unending river

The gust of soil and debris all heaves

And I hear the rain drops in my eves

Thank you Gaia for your presence ever

Dharti Mata giving up on us? Never !

Your bosom heaves air changed forever

The scent of champa roses and clover

The scent of wet soil is balm to the world

Healing all sentient beings it wafts toward

So hushed and quiet earth moves forward

Pay obeisance to thee,we move forward
