Earth
Now I stand firmly rooted and I understand!
The Earth beneath my feet, not just my way of passage
Not just for my usage
Not obligated to me
Not only my nurturer
The Trees envelop and surround me
I am engulfed in their splendor
Held safely in the security of their loving limbs
And I am overcome and breathless
Within the enormity of their majesty
Ahhh... the safety
The realization of my responsibility
I owe the Earth my respect, my dedication
My nurturing of its delicate balance
As I come to view the cycles of the human spirit
A dance in union with the seasons
The cyclical ebbs and flows of the Earth has meaning
And I yearn to dance the dance of Balance, as its partner
Great hope lingers large, as I tiptoe on my spirit journey
Compassion expanding
That we may become one in this circle
Dancing in celebration
Of what we have learned
We all stand firmly rooted
In our knowing that we are one with our Earth
She is our Mother
We are her allies
