The Earth


Earth teach me stillness...as the grass are stilled with light.
Earth teach me suffering...as old stones suffer with memory.
Earth teach me humility...as bloosoms are humble with beginning.
Earth teach me caring...as the mother who secures the young.
Earth teach me courage...as the tree which stands alone.
Earth teach me limitation...as the ant which crawls on the ground.
Earth teach me freedom...as the eagle which soars in the sky.
Earth teach me resignation..as the leaves which die in the fall.
Eart teach me regeneration...as the seed which rises in the spring.
Earth teach me to forget myself...as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me to remember kindness...as dry fields weep in the rain.
