Mother nature
Mother nurture
Mother shelter in place
I’m glad it’s you I can run home to
for comfort
The morning birdsong carries the tune of joy
As we mourn and as we grieve
Dancing feet upon the Earth
Power rising up
Our Indigenous brothers and sisters
Usher in healing
Getting lost in blue skies
Drifting thoughts
Carry me away
Expand
Radiant sunlight
A warm embrace
Filling my belly
Nourish
Prideful mountains
Showcasing their peaks
Taking stands
Empower
Kind flowers
Offering their petals
Giggling with delight
Compassion
Steady rivers
Ancient trees
Visionary stars
Wise moon
Peaceful meadows
Prophetic deserts
Mother nature
Mother nurture
Mother shelter in place
I’m glad it’s you I can run home to
for comfort.
