Gaia: A Poem for Earth

Open Your arms and embrace me,

And I will embrace You.

Whisper Your wisdom in my ears,

And I will teach it to the world.

Show me Your secrets, Earth-Mother,

And I will transcribe them for the common-folk.

Nourish me from Your woman-breast,

And I will nourish my brothers and sisters.

Intoxicate me with Your earthly scent,

And I will serve You;

For Your are the life-womb,

The Mother of us all,

And we would perish without You and Your love.
