I lay my head on Earth Mother's breast
with thoughts of how my life is blessed,
her spirit brings me thoughts of peace
so that my soul may find release.
Her whisper evokes my saving grace
within her womb I've found my place
and all her creatures great and small
abide by her most gracious call.
To live in harmony she pleas
we're all a thread that holds her key,
tread softly lest her weave we break
for then her heart will surely ache.
Sing her song in unison
from dawn of day to setting sun,
tunes from rivers, mountains high
from deep within you'll hear her sigh.
Keep attuned, don't ever stray
for surely we would lose our way,
lay your head on Mother's breast
and peace will reign thoughout life's quest.

Such a deep abiding love for the Earth. And, it is true, the weeping of the Earth is growing so audible these days. A wonderful tribute to the Earth.
