I Am Earth

I Am Earth I am Earth, Home to all creatures, infinite and unconditional, The bosom of my soil yields life, comfort, peace and love I am wonder filled caves, Green hills of glory, Valleys rich in splendor, I am steep rocky ledges too treacherous to navigate, I am dangerous slides of loose stones To which you loose your footing, Send your roots deep within me so I may hold you up straight and strong as your reach upwards in search of the sun, I am generous in my abundance and shelter, I am merciless in the barren waste lands that yield nothing, My terrain is every changing, impossible to predict, I am high mountain peaks too dangerous to scale, I am a vastness of beaty and life, I am Earth, Home to all creatures, infinite and unconditional, Patient, loving, forever
