Harvest Approaches
Written By Staff Writer: Agate
Have you touched the Earth lately;
She is heavy with life.
Have you stroked Her rounded belly,
Wondering at the potential within?
When did you last sink your toes in the mud
Or let the grass curl around them?
When did you last listen as the wind
Whipped by whispering secrets;
Or watched the dragonflies swarm
In an early summer morn?
When did you last walk, instead of drive,
Or take the time to recycle voluntarily?
When was the last time the night was dark enough
To see ten billion stars in a blanket of black?
The dirt we tread, the air we breathe,
The water we drink, the plants we eat,
Interconnected
Us to Her
Her to us
Sometimes even we forget
Have you touched the Earth lately,
She is heavy with life.
