Caressing Our Souls
Is it not enough just to love, plants love water
They ask for nothing more
Is not love good enough to keep forever?
Doesn’t the sun give you warmth?
Asking for nothing in return
We argue and we fight
Have you ever seen two trees arguing?
Where to drop their leaves?
The earth gives us a home with life abundant
We seem not to see all around is life
We only see you and me forgetting
The soul of the earth providing us with love
The earth keeps us alive
Never asking for anything in return
We take from the earth and build our toys
Placing them upon the earth
We only see what we have built
Believing that the tree of knowledge of good and evil is more important
Then where we live
Forgetting that the earth
Caress our souls
