the earth and me

oh baby I love the earth.

I love the way she smells (most of the time)
I love her kiss on my skin when she's sunny
I love the drama of her rain when she's stormy
I love the power in the churning of her oceans
and I love the fatness of her hills

I love the vegetables and fruits that are born out of her
they delight my body
I love the animals that live in and on her
they delight my soul

Today I decided I loved the earth enough to beat the bus home with my own two feet
then the earth loved me right back up and gave my new garden a sprinkle

I think we have a good thing going.

happy earth day.

I enjoyed this woman's blog post about the occasion, so I pass it on to you. enjoy.

I love the Earth.
I love the way she whispers sweet nothings in my ear as I walk home from work.
I love the way she paints.
I love the way she gives and gives without expecting anything in return.
I love the way she massages my feet when I walk around barefoot.
I love basking in her smiles, swimming in her tears, and skipping to the rhythm of her music.
I love the Earth.

I love the earth
from my head
down to my girth.
mountains so high
the sun up in her sky
I love the earth.

happy earth day
