Embrace of the Earth

Embrace of the Earth

In the dawn's early light, where shadows dance and play, 

I am the earth, the silent witness of day. 

From the rolling hills to the valleys low, 

In my embrace, the seeds of life grow.

I feel the pulse of every creature small, 

From the ant's tiny steps to the lion's call. 

In forests dense and oceans wide, 

I am the ground on which all abide.

Flowers bloom in colors bright and bold, 

In my rich soil, their stories unfold. 

Every tree, a sentinel tall and wise, 

Reaches for the heavens, touching the skies.

In the autumn's hush, when leaves turn gold, 

I am the warmth against the coming cold. 

Fields of amber, kissed by the sun's last rays, 

Hold the memory of summer's fleeting days.

I bear the weight of footprints, both light and grand, 

From the wanderer's stride to the child's hand. 

In every path, a tale of wonder weaves, 

Through the forest trails and city leaves.

Through earthquakes and storms, I stand firm, 

A testament to endurance, I never squirm. 

I am the bedrock of dreams, the anchor of hope, 

In my vast embrace, every life can cope.

Feel the grass between your toes, soft and green, 

A gentle reminder of places unseen. 

In the silence of a meadow, the whispering breeze, 

Hear the lullabies sung by the trees.

For I am the earth, the mother of all, 

In my embrace, every life stands tall. 

Through the cycles of life, the seasons' dance, 

I offer you a steadfast chance.

To grow, to dream, to love and be, 

In the heart of the earth, eternally free. 

So lay your worries, your fears to rest, 

In my timeless embrace, you are blessed.
