Know Your Mother, Know Your Earth

The waves they rock This ship so fierce 'Twas silent night Now screams do pierce. The waves they roll And curl and crash We watch with fear On rocks waves smash. The morrow comes The sky is bright Our ship survived The stormy night The waves, they lap Upon the sand We safely dock Upon this land. Neptune the sweet A lulling force The night has shown His maddened course We move so swift From Triton's lair The trees are thick The valley's fair. I sink my toes Into the earth And thank Mother Who gave this birth. This world can be So treacherous Yet Her beauty Is clear to us. I see sunlight Dappling the ground Carpet of leaves Of Autumn found She's a Temptress Beauty unmatched Gentle and fair  Our hearts are snatched Yet like all Eve's Her temper's foul Her seas deadly Her winds do howl Turn on a dime And see Her morph Your wife's fury Is just a dwarf. So watch with love But watch with fear And hold Her close To your heart dear. Nature Divine Nature Fair Nature Changing Nature Beware
