Gaia

Gaia what has our world come to

The texture of soil against palm

The crashing of ocean against rock

Gaia my creator I can feel your presence

Drift me away to the promise land

Unite heart with ancestors leave flesh behind

 

The tranquility in the air

Like your breath upon my cheek

Gaia you have raised me

A son of yours grown into a man

In your name O' protector of land

 

Sleep takes me on journeys

To find your subtle touch

Gaia goddess of the universe

Balance the boundaries

Between heaven and earth

 

In the gale of the storm

I feel your anguish

Gaia destroyer of time

Confide in me your child

For it is our fault forgive us

 

Failure to understand your loving plan

Take me aboard your starry skies

Gaia celestial constellations for eyes

Show me the world you envisioned

Let me speak your tongue so all can understand

 

Gaia Have mercy on us save our land.

 

 

Author's Note

The poet introduces nature as the creation of Gaia (Creator of the Universe). He then pleads with her to take him up to heaven so he can talk to the goddess about the way her beautiful creations have gone corrupt. He asks Goddess Gaia to show him a way to stop the destruction and save the world.

I don't see anything that should be changed, this is precious. I just witnessed a humble conversation between man, and a higher power. Whatever we believe in and worship, the hour will come when we will feel the need to ask for mercy...the God I believe in will deliver me from damnation. The Goddess you write of...she's an entity that lives in all of us. We have the ability to create and destroy...but we abuse it...Gaia begot Mother earth...so we are responsible for her babe. If we destroy it...we destroy the Goddess within us and anger the God that rules above us.
