Humble gifts of Mother Nature

1. Humble gifts of Mother Nature: Free Verse: Humility

She gave a mixture of measured 
Traces of gases to make a livable 
Blend of air for lives to breathe well

She gave a magical potion
With rich nutrients to exist and sustain
All living things on this dear Earth

She spread ethereal carpet
Of soil to store, grow, regulate food to live,
For lives to recycle again

She stashed and stowed away fine rocks
To hold the mass good with unwavering strength
Bestow minerals to live well

She is so humbly rich to give
Such elegant presents to all lives on earth
Unworthy mankind took it all


2. Humble gifts of Mother Nature: Etheree: Humility

She,
Gave us
Air, Water, Soil,
Precious things that hold
Took million years to make
To help lives live and sustain
Balanced living - she wished to create
It floated for a while till a dawn
When human thought to use it all for self
Spoiled the gift, spoiled the giver, and failed terribly overall.

Mother nature nourishes as you express so lovingly. If only we cared more about Her and become good stewards of Her gifts and kindness. A powerful Etheree as well, Thriveni. B0l if for a contest! ~Anaya
