Mother Earth

Mother Earth awakens, in subtle pastel hues Aspen leaves flutter and quake, shaking off the morning dew Morning stirs, and Hummingbird wings whir and trill, just out of sight Columbines dance on a pine scented breeze, solely to their delight Mother Earth enjoys the day, basking in suns glow or splashing in the rain showers and watching flowers grow Whispered secrets on the wind, ancient wisdoms to impart keeping silent vigil, she hears them stir within her heart. Mother Earth lays down to sleep, bright colors paint the sky evening shadows blanket her shoulders, as she closes her eyes Pine trees shush their lullabies, and usher in the night the taste of dew hangs in the air, as stars begin to light
