Earth Day Celebration
EARTH DAY
Sisters
and brothers of nature's clan
share
equally this unfenced land
miles
of golden grassland
mine
to freely roam
Whatever
I see
I
will call my home.
Oh! To be crowded
by
an audience of silence
and
walk a tiny highway
trampled
firmly on the land.
I
shout aloud from rocky cliffs
with
crowds of friends
that
gather now to listen
who
hear my every word.
Wind! Blow my name!
Sweep
it far away.
Make
me the one discovered new
in a shadow of of holiness
and
this my garden of pleasures.
Possessed
only by a night and day
protected
by faith in the sun
I
sing now to everyone
Earth
is the place I call home.
Quietly
now I lay in the arms
of
violets and clover
reaching
for the Spirits of Heaven
peace has captured my soul.
I understand...
I
know who I am...
I
am new,
I
can breathe,
I
am born.
