My tribute to Mother Earth \u2026.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are ever grateful Mother Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We place our feet on Mother Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You never fail us dear Mother Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Leaves spiraling down in dance to Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Colours so varied come to join the Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dew drops like diamonds come from Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are only transient here on Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So we give Reiki, do good while on Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lotus group makes strong this Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For we may not traverse again this Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Celebrate the morning light full of mirth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The sun ablaze to bathe this Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The sun warms Mother Earth it\u2019s need<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Breaks the sky into bronze and rust indeed<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We give obeisance in prayer we bid<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In our breath and word and every deed<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Place crystals all directions in every bed<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Invoking high energy for all who need<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then at night in gratitude the dusky Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Shades of warm peach turn dark the Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A signal to join in prayer, repose on Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The circadian rhythm, balanced on Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We bow down to you for bounty of Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This day every day is glory to this Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Shariffa Keshavji LHSG Kenya<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mother Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

When we think of Mother Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Full of innovation is Mother Earth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Embracing us just as mother does<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Unconditional and ever present for us<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This Mothers Day  she whispers of rain<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Makes the birds hide and appear again<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The asphalt bursts in sparks silver rain<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The rain drops bounce off into the drain<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now  andante, now piccolo fall the rain<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

How I love the rhythm of the falling rain<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It rises to a crescendo trees falls<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Roots to the sky and lies supine boles<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The wind dies and the moan stops<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Back to Mother Earth the tree goes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Other trees pick up the rhythm in a shiver<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Plays the melody like an unending river<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The gust of soil and debris all heaves<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And I hear the rain drops in my eves<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you Gaia for your presence ever<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dharti Mata giving up on us? Never !<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Your bosom heaves air changed forever<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The scent of champa roses and clover<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The scent of wet soil is balm to the world<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Healing all sentient beings it wafts toward<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So hushed and quiet earth moves forward<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pay obeisance to thee,we move forward<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
