The Girl and the Earth

Twas the wind, that swept her off her feet

Along with its tranquil voice that sings

Twas the sun’s pulsating beams

That makes her dance and swing

Twas the streams

Skinny as a string

That taught her

Life can be as short as any other thing

Whilst I stand here

Wanting you

Needing you closer than near

I have longed for you through and through

Furthermore it’s crystal clear

Yet you leave me to shed a tear

If I was this tree

Would you love me?

Throughout fall, winter, and spring

And in the warm summer days you bring?

In the woods of dark shadows

You want me to follow

With your attention I wallow

Amidst the wind, sun, and streams

You’ve made me see

Earth’s eternal beauty

You are my inkling

To a world in which beauty gleams

I see love in ways I’ve never dreamed

Your steps stop

And me, you turn to

Rays of the sun come into view

And the wind quickly blew

Your beauty reworks to gold specs that flew

Specs that became the beauty of the earth I knew

In the bright hue

I realize you are the earth

And I love you
