Valentine to the Planet

Ode to Gaia

What can I give you, sustainer of all life?

You give the pleasure of flowers to adorn space,

The warmth of the sun freely to all,

The moon to calm our fears at night,

Flowing water and floating snow

To quench the parched throats of these hungry ghosts,

The sweet fertile earth to tread upon

To reap as we please

The harvest of our need and our greed.

Fair Lover and Mother

Trying to nurture us all,

Asking not for gifts, only respect.

I can only give her all of my love.
