We are part of the Earth

We are part of the Earth.

 While all the earth has something to say 
 I speak to teach the next generation.

 I praise our Earth.
 From the garden of my heart, 
 sends echoes on high.

 We’ve become part of its evolution.
 Dust surrounds my bones, in flesh.
 We’re known for our ancient path unfolding.

 All living things give breath that nurtures my world.
 The tears from the body flow onto the ground.
 These tears have their language.
 That speaks with a thousand voices.
 We, real people, in real time, are in everything, everywhere.

 We begin this journey hand in hand with a joy like spring.
 That we make flowers bloom in all walks of life.
 Once our pain was like a river of tears, so full it 
 fills up the four oceans.

 From the four elements of the earth.
 You who are called Earth, Water, Air, and Fire.
 These earthly bodies, our lungs so filled with the air
 We breathe, and 55% of the body's water is stored.
 Let the tears flow.

 Nature weeps, giving birth to us, and we are trembling
 with joy, as the rhythm network of sparks guides our 
 uncertain wings. In birth and death.
 The spirit of the land: footprints in the sand.
 From time on our hands.

 Native quiet pulses are revolving and evolving.
 Tribal drums of the old world still beat.
 Of all that are alive and sustain us each day as 
 The aroma of understanding.

 Within you, Mother Earth, we are born, we grow,
 Live and die, only to be reborn.
 Welcome to life now returning.
A trance by the firelight.
 We are an open sea.
 Now I’m silent, becoming one.
 We will make room for you.

As we breathe air,
Being made from the earth.
And here on this tree of life.
Our roots run deep into the earth.
