Today I Belong

Today I belong to the trees,

Leaves rustling soft in the breeze,

Sun glimmering bright through their leaves,

Today I belong to the trees.

 

Today I belong to the meadow,

I lie hidden in tall grassy shadow,

Soft mounds ‘neath my head like a pillow,

Today I belong to the meadow.

 

Today I belong to the clouds,

Soft white and billowy shrouds,

Floating so slowly and proud,

Today I belong to the clouds.

 

Today I belong to the river,

It ripples and calls me hither,

I could sit alongside it forever,

Today I belong to the river.

 

Today I belong to the valley,

Sculpted by rock, hill and gully,

It offers me reason to dally,

Today I belong to the valley.

 

Today I belong to the wind,

My troubles and cares it rescinds,

And cleanses my soul deep within,

Today I belong to the wind.

 

Today I belong to the desert,

It’s environ so vast and covert,

A Cactus Wren warbles a concert,

Today I belong to the desert.

 

Today I belong to the canyon,

Cliffs glowing in rust, gold and crimson,

I hear ancient songs of a Shaman,

Today I belong to the canyon.

 

Today I belong to the mountains,

Waterfalls flowing like fountains,

Their jagged peaks covered with aspen

Today I belong to the mountains.

 

Today I belong to the ocean,

It beckons me with a wild notion,

And stirs my deepest emotion,

Today I belong to the ocean.

 

Today I belong to the sky,

Where the Eagle is soaring so high,

I feel as if I could fly,

Today I belong to the sky.

 

Today my soul sets itself free,

How could I ever foresee,

What the future holds waiting for me,

Today my soul sets itself free.
