Earth's Soliloquy

Earth's Soliloquy

In the depth of ancient woods where shadows gently play, 

I am Earth, the solid ground where life finds its way. 

From towering mountains to valleys wide and low,

I cradle all existence, in my embrace they grow.

Roots delve deep within my soil, anchoring the trees, 

Whispering ancient secrets carried by the breeze. 

Every stone and pebble, each grain of shifting sand, 

Tells tales of time eternal, written by nature's hand.

I nurture seeds with patience, in silence they emerge, 

From tiny sprouts to mighty oaks, they flourish at my verge. 

With each passing season, I witness their ascent, 

Life's endless cycle, forever my content.

Through the weight of heavy footsteps, the dance of creatures small, 

I remain the steadfast cradle, supporting one and all. 

Volcanoes may erupt, shaking my very core, 

But from the ashes, life rebirths, stronger than before.

In fields of golden harvests, where farmers toil and reap, 

I feel the joy of plenty, the promises they keep. 

From the deserts dry and barren, to the wetlands lush and green,

I am the Earth, the mother, the eternal, ever-seen.
