Benefactor
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.
