Gaia
Garnering a myriad colors from the sunlight
and sparkles from the silvery moon
She embraces nature in her bosom
and embellishes the cerulean sky.
No God is born without a womb
Nor the devil without a mind,
Her loin spawns the firmament
as she breathes the universe into motion;
Her milk forms the streams, the lakes,
the flowing rivers and the vast oceans,
Her tears form the rolling clouds
and nourishe the flora and fauna,
She rides upon the wings of the wind
and heralds the sun-god each day
in its burning chariot.
When she shuts her eyes
she causes icy wilderness
When she opens them
It blossoms into the Elysian Fields.
