As A Daughter Of This Earth

As long as I can scratch a line in the earth and plant a seed there, there is time!
While butterflies unfurl their inner beauty and reveals her secrets there, there is hope!
If I can still drink in the nectars of the last of summer  sweet flowers, I'm alive!

Let me approach nature in wonder
and walk silently in the forest undisturbed
Allow myself to be one with it a moment
Listening to the chatter of unhurried birds

Let me listen to the lessons the Mother whispers
Become native to my ancestors adopted land
Drink in the ancient powers that surround me
Take in the few minutes pause to understand

Many feet have walked this earth before me
Their footprints of  the knowledge are still here
The very thing that spells out our own survival
The mystery of the seeds one becomes aware

Perfect in it's design as God had created
Left to man to tend in loving, mindful, care
If I want to help and heal back this planet
In my hands I hold the life line that is there

Save heirloom seeds!
