O Spirit of Earth I imagine you in all things Alive in the sparkle of ocean, lake and stream In misty veils that hang on dawn like lavender dreams Spirit of Earth I’ve seen your breath arise in secret places where clouds are formed I’ve heard your silvery laughter as another stream is born In magical forests that call forth flowers and leaves In opal skies that cycle clouds to rebirth every Spring Sweet Spirit of Earth lying in banks of blue flowers Wonder, dream, and delight –these are your words Words that bid new mountains rise, convoluting deep confessions, like spells in violet eyes in dark realms is your Spirit waiting to arise. Like a collage of beauty- Spirit of Earth with all your unknown mysteries Your wisdom of renewal flowing through all things Death is your slumber of symphonies unsung Spirit of Earth in dreaming sleep, awaken your miracles – remain forever young For Nature Contest

Such intricate descriptions of a somehow forgotten thing... Earth! The ball in space that we LIVE on. An appreciative and dreamy quality to this... you are such an intriguing poet, Suzanne! Never know what you will come up with next...
