My gift to you on this 50th anniversary of Earth Day – a poem from my heart to yours.
Let me …
Let me be the ground beneath your feet
Let me comfort you on my soft grasses
Let me relax you on my white sands
Let me refresh you in my cool clear waters
Let me cool you under the shade of my trees
Let me fill your eyes with the colours of my rainbows
Let me fill your ears with the songs of my birds
Let me fill your nose with the essences of my blossoms
Let me satisfy your touch with the softness of my flower petals, the prickliness of my thorns the smoothness of my sun warmed rocks
Let me cleanse you with my rain
Let me renew you with my storms
Let me warm you with my fire
Let me give you shelter with my mud, wood and stone
Let me give you tools from my metals
Let me cloth you with my bamboo, hemp and cotton
Let me feed your body from my soil
Let me quench your thirst from my streams
Let me be your bed while gazing at the stars in the sky
Let me hold you as you soak up my Sun
Let me give you companionship with my animals
Let me give you beauty and energy with my crystals
Let me give you medicine with my herbs
Let me show you fragility and grace with my butterflies
Let me show you power and might with my stormy seas
Let me give you the day to work
Let me give you the night to rest
Let me be your compass Let me share with you the secrets of the Universe Let me be your teacher in all things big and small
Let me hug you with my strong tree trunks and branches
Let me give you healing with a simple touch
Let me give you …love
