I Am The Earth.

My soul flows with the sea

My heart is the tide that breathes in and out

My mind has been set free

It travels on air from the whale’s spout

My eyes are the stars

My lips are canyons dug deep into the earth

My fingers trace the scars

Of our land’s damaged turf

The air gives me hope

That I shall never drown in my sorrow

My people help me cope

They make me look towards my tomorrow

My dress is made from the leaves

Remnants of what the trees have left behind

My heart is what grieves

The day life will choose to be unkind

The clock ticks however it chooses

My feet fly over my head

When someone wins, another loses

The dark feeling drops like lead

My skin is made from the scales

A bright lizard carries on his back each day

My life has no passes, no fails

For each accomplishment, the sun gains a new ray

I am the earth

I am a living thing

I am the ocean’s surf

I am the birds that sing

I am the wind

I am the crackling fire

I am the sinned

I am the great desire
