Earthsong






                ~~Earthsong~~


We live and walk upon you each day.
We adore the scent and freshness of new mown hay.


From your deep, secret soils, flowers sprout.
We smell their flowers, and with joy, we shout!


Trees bearing fruits, a most God-given delight.
Plus tall trees extending fingers, touching stars at night.


Insects within you do both crawl and live.
Rain falls upon you and you act like a sieve.


Sheep, cows, lambs upon you, do eat and run.
God's creatures, great and small, under the sun,


You are our souls' true, verdant harmony.
Ever growing, forever thankful to thee..we,humanity!

Beautifully versed Pangie, I love nature and what lives among her, sadly she is slowy being eroded by humanity. Take care, Emilia from across the pond xx

Hello there, Elaine! We are still eating, yes? Flowers stii grow and trees do bloom. Despite our stupidity, the earth still gives. Gods in charge of the planet, always. Encourage others, do not buy into darkness or doom. Many good souls take care Of it. Always will be senseless ones...educate them. You can I it. Pangie xx

Hi Pangie, this is a wonderful tribute to Mother Earth. We should not spoil all she gives us, destroying little by little. Maybe people will see this before it is too late. Another wonderful write from your golden pen. A fav from an Earth lover. Love your descriptive quill. Have a wonderful Thursday. Blessings and Hugs....Mike. XX

Dear Mike, CALIFORNIA Is now on fire we have 30 fires going on at once. The earth, animals, flowers will be destroyed. A couple found a bear chilling out in a small pool. Napa is burning. The sky is ugly, filled with ash! Air quality..bad. Glad you FAVEd. Keep respecting the Earth. It's going to be a rough Thursday..bye, Earth Lover..Pangie xx
