What do we do?
those of us who love you?
Earth, answer me.
Not with fire and floods,
nor famine and disease.
Your waters still call to me.
Your awesome glory
brings me to my knees.
I climb your mountains,
descend your cliffs,
sail upon your seas.
Earth, I love you
still,
despite your need
to balance out your spirit
by threatening me.
Yes, I know, you warned me
long ago, and repeatedly.
But, Earth, I love you so.
What can I do
to prove my love for you?
I cannot let you go.
Can you say the same for me?
