Mother Earth

Rest, Holy mother earth, Rest! So much, You have offered all of us, the Whole summer, Time has come, for you, to Slow down! A soft bed, You should prepare for yoursef, made From autumn’s golden leaves For The winter in complete relaxation to pass, Slowly to recuperate Repose, Mother earth, Repose! Before The reviving call of spring, wakes You up For Another miraculous circle of life to Begin! © Demetrios Trifiatis 20 SEPTEMBER 2014

I smile and giggle at this poem, Demetrios. The key word you use here that caught my eye was (should). As if any mother gets a chance to rest for more than a little while. She should, but she, like Mother Earth, is much too busy all year long. However, just maybe, winter can cover her with a warm blanket of snow and let her get a good night's sleep! I found humor in your poem, which you perhaps did not intend? Maybe because you're not a mother!
