Ode to the Earth

Vibrant matter.
The core.
Elusive source,
change and travel on.
Examine, care, and repair.
Love,
taken on.

Sing, from the heart.
For yourself, family,
all known.
Village, town, berg,
will resonate.
Planet earth,
and unknown.

Breath, from your soul.
Listen.
Remember, sense, know.
Nurture, feed, change,
future life.
Never,
alone.
