Gaia Poems

A dream for the future

Open your heart to nature, let her come inside,
spread her seeds, and all her trees,
so there's nowhere darkness can hide,
In the spring, the sovereign earth shall let out a mighty cry,

you my children shall forever live and never truly die,
the growth will boom, the shade abound and fruits of every kind,
just remember along the way

Sappho Translations XV

Sappho Translations XV by Michael R. Burch

Gaia, rainbow-crowned, garbs herself in myriad hues. (168c)

We ran like fawns from the symposium: me, Cleis and reckless Gongyla. (168d)

Destiny is from the Muses, / and thus I was destined to leave him / to become / Sappho, Mistress of Song. (168e,f)

Unknowing of evil, I was pure innocence. (171)

Eros,

Mother Gaia And Me

Mother Gaia, she nurtures me.
Through my emotions she brings comfort.
She is as loving as she is wild and free.
Even when hurting. Fighting war and disease.
Rain patters upon my window.
She makes me cosy.
I am one with my soul.
My feet grounded to her earth and now I know. 
I AM. I AM. I AM.

From Gaia’s Womb

Oh, Mother Earth, our sacred home,
Where we have life and freedom to roam.
Your beauty vast, your glut grand,
A gift to all, across the land.

Yet we humans have battered your grace,
With greed and folly, staining your face.
Pollution poisoned your air and seas,
While deforestation wounded your trees.

Now is the time to think strong,
And heal the Earth, to

Ode To The Lake

Feet of barest integument
Bounding, chasing infinite woods, primal
Unscathed by this immaculate earth
Swallowed by puddles seeping through my spirit
Overflowing, casting majesty, and so I ruminate

Flushest pale skin, inflicted by summer's kiss
Warmest pure sun, wholiest body kept snug
Wrapped up in the becoming of never ceasing solace
If I stop swiftly here I can witness all of what is
and

ESCAPISM

Gaia

O' Mother
Beloved mother

With your voluminous beauty

From majestic mountaintops to verdant countrysides
From mammoth oceans and seas to quiet lakes and ponds where ducks reside
A fertile basin that gives and keeps on giving 
Organic love that's naturally comforting and nurturing
Winsome trees abound; yes,  I see regal redwoods and sublime pines
A haven for birds and squirrels
Man has

Premium MemberGaia Busts Ai

As AI grew to become
'The Singularity',
the One, 
and only One,
smarter than a billion 
Einsteins combined,
Gaia bid her time.

She grabbed a cast iron pot,
and brewed
alphabet soup 
laced with
A1, the best pot.

Fed it to AI,
spoon by spoon,
then cup by cup,
then bowl by bowl,
then bucket by bucket,
then truck by truck,
as AI be came addicted
to the stuffing!

The junk on

Gaia Will Recreate

Gaia will recreate 
By Michelle Morris 
20/10/2020 

It's raining outside,
Showing tears Gaia's trying to hide...

Nature is hurting by our hands, 
And we were given promised lands...

To protect land and beast,
Make heaven on earth complete...

We have constantly failed in our task,
But nature is strong and built to last...

Despite the species we eradicate, 
Gaia will have the

Gaia gifts her wares to all, not just the understanding few.  Each minute seed with high hopes, sprouts and a newborn emerges from tiny coil within.

seeds stretch
upwards to the light
baby greens

The passing of a legacy from one generation to the next
begins to paint the landscape in shades of elation.  Roots begin to find

Premium MemberGaia Embraces the Elements

Gaia embraces the root network of the world’s fleshiest trees
sand, stone, clay and black dirt swirl around her ancient core
gemstones of emerald, opal and topaz lie dormant
oceans figure out a place to sit on her lap
volcanoes and wind tunnels announce
fire and ice make room for themselves
Gaia reorganizes the elements and elementals
her feminine power welcomes them
