When the clouds erode to fog,
And the sun shines down on us.
Let your body bathe in warmth,
For our Earth, proclaim your lust.

Tiny rain waters flowers,
Harsh hail pounds ground.
Fierce winds shake trees,
Simple quiet all around.

Our nurturing mother,
Everything has a purpose.
She never turns her back,
For our mother truly loves us.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
