Benefactor

Written by A. R. Levett

Published in Letters to Our Home (2020)

Earth mother
our great provider:

forests for shelter
wisdom of the land

harsh, empty deserts
equality in solitude

soils for vegetation
burial of the past

rains to water
seeds within and without

sunlight for warmth
scorching the obsolete

darkness for rest
life’s trials reflected

seasons bring diversity
stagnation thwarted

mountains offer farsight
contact with providence

oceans for sustenance
changing currents renew

rivers provide hydration
guidance on our journey.
