Mother Gaia

She is the loving earth

Mother of all

Impeccable at breeding dreams

And generous of respite

To all the children she gives her all

Spreading them from her womb

To crawl and rise , to dance upon her face

And delude life beneath life

But no man is bound to the soil

To be rotten and silent

For these unattainable heights

Skinning in the flesh of the Universe

Ready to engulf the voids left by a different presence

Unashamed to hold the sun
