"dear mother earth,"
because of you...
I notice bluets growing
amidst thick grass and feel delight.
A cooling breeze
on a hot day brings a sigh of pleasure.
Bodies of water, of many sizes, always presenting
a different image are an endless marvel.
I whoop at my first sighting of a hummer
of the season on the honeysuckle.
The return of the bloodroot, the trillium, the trout lilies,
remind me how reliable you are.
You provide more wonders than I can name.
Add on all I cannot name, and all that hasn't been discovered.
Mother Earth, you are not only an astonishing artist;
you are also a supreme provider
of all things beautiful, intricate, complex,
nourishing and necessary.
It's a feast of plenty and everyone's invited.
May we celebrate your generosity
by taking great care of you.
