Short Earthiness Poems

Sunflowers up reaches,
Up to the skies,
So is the brown,
And so are your eyes.
An earthiness tone

Purposes are illuminating,
And so is your smile.

Motions from a different epoch.
This morning, the starling was silent.

Mother Gaia, how beautifully you tend your garden of souls.
Uplifted and refreshed by your green plants and your earthiness.

We lie in our beds, watching your magic arise from the ground.
Tiny green sprouts of marigolds, carrots, corn, peas, and radishes.
How excited and confident you help us to feel.
Mother Gaia, how beautifully you tend your garden of souls!...
