| Homage to my planet by Winter Minor | |
Mountains, trees and day break I need you. I need your light to shine down upon me. I need your sandy beaches to lay my tired head upon. I need your water to cleanse me. God. I need you. I cant make it through the day without you. Universe I love you. Your energy is what gets me through the day. I am broken. I am humbled. I am shattered. I want your peacefulness. I want your nature, I want your heavenly plains. I want out of the Valley and I want to get back to you. I want to not speak. I want to listen. I want to listen to the air and feel the wind rush against my face. I want to dive into your ocean and not come up for air. I want to stay at the bottom of the sea and become one with the earth. I want to climb your trees and look out on your beautiful mansion. Thank you for letting me step on your soil. Thank you for giving me plants and air to breathe. Thank you for providing fruit and vegetables to feed my body with. Thank you for providing herbs in your soil for me to make tea and remedies with. Thank you for treating me kindly and sharing your resources. For this I will treat you with the utmost respect. I will take care of your animals, your plants and I will not sever your trees or their roots. I will not trash your beautiful mansion that you allow me to live in. Above all else you have always been there for me. When my friends and relatives died, went back into your earth, when lovers have left me you have always been there waiting for me with green lush grass for me to lay my head on. You have let me cry my tears into your soil, your sun has shined on me on the darkest of days. Your aloe vera plants have soothed me when I had colds. Your mint plants have garnished my favorite dishes, your water has served my closest friends on their birthdays, galas and holidays. For that I thank you and give my deepest respect. Snow, night fall, moon I need you. Earth I love you. I need your rain to wash away my tears. Thank you |
We all go through hard times and sometimes we forget to look at the bigger picture of things. It is important to recycle, to take care of our planet, to think before we build the latest shopping mall, to remember that this amazing, luscious natural mansion we live in is the earth's and we need to treat it with the greatest respect. It will not only help the earth but also ourselves in the long run.
