Mother Earth
The beginning the earth
She wakes to to the emptiness of the land
Walking upon the land was the epitome of beauty
Her supple skin reflecting in the wake of greatness
From the first step came the formation of the continents
Loneliness deep within her soul
She began to shed tears, born of those tears the waters
From the warmth of her body came the sun
From the thoughts of her mind came the animals of the land
One day born of the dropped blood from her hand came what she called darkness
From the sorrow came every calamity known
From every calamity ever known came man
Desring the curves of her figure darkness began to desire mother
Fear stricken, a lingering feeling she is being watched
A white bull called by darkness full of furry came charging knoking mother
She fought unable to escape the bull mother from a top the earth, darkness tore her beutiful skin, cutting her lush hair, and stripping away all that she had created
Beaten , broken, mother gave until she could give no more
Crushing mother’s spirit, her heart breaks
The darkness in the distance, mother lay her sorrows of the land
Mother was born, mother sought, darkness taken her title of mother earth
