Gaia

A Poem by Hypnos
"

i pray to thank Mother Earth for all that she has given you.

"


I praise Mother Gaia, who brought to life
all who live upon the earth, creator of gods,
of mortal men and beasts. Gaia, all your children
are dear to you, all will you defend from abuse
and oppression. Gaia, you are mighty,
you are kind, you provide for us what we most need"
the food that sustains us, the air that we breathe"
and yet you are firm, you show us the simple truth
of our existence, the slightness of our lives:
the grass grown tall between the cracks in the road,
the moss that clings to brick and stone, the vine that climbs
the walls of men until they crumble, all these are yours.
Gaia, most ancient and most revered goddess,
you are our source of life and reason for right living.
In all ways I honor you, for all gifts I thank you.

Wonderful, fulfilling prayer from the bottom of a caring and open heart. I just wish that humanity would realize how much we should respect and treat Mother Gaia with the compassion and love from the bottom of all our hearts.

Praising Gaia in simple words? I don't think so.More than talking about Gaia(the goddess of Earth) you have simply spoken about mother earth.Praising earth with all her wonderfulness and beauty.Anyway excellent.
