Till the Earth
She tills the earth
The ground
So hard the need
So soft the seed
So great
The reason
She
The earth
Mutually respectful
Easily angered
Quick to forgive
She gave life
She wants the same of the soil
She gave fruit
She asks the same of the trees
Her tears flow to the ground
She begs the same of the skies
Without life she has nothing
She tills
She plants
She prays
