Mother Earth

by: LadyJo

I look at you out side my window

I see the changes you are going through

Life, Growth, Survival, Death

Your cycle awakens deep thoughts within me

As to why we exist?

As to why we are created?

And the purpose of why we live

Exploring my thoughts

I begin to understand

To be created is to have been the vision of one’s creation

Well thought out and designed specifically for a purpose

To live is to have love

We keep alive that which is most precious to our heart

To grow is to develop

Into more than what began, maturing with time and experience

And to Die is to have lived

Leaving behind a legacy of one’s existence

A trail to prove to those who come after

That what is no more, once was

So I look at you outside my window

Mother Earth

As your leaves fall, and your tears drop

I see you speaking loudly to my heart

As you reside into a deep sleep once more

Waiting to be re-born, in the dawn of day
