Mother Earth and Father Sun

          
the dawn sang of magic pure and beautiful    
the Earth spun on her axis    
enchanted by the song    
the sun rose on her enchantment    
and warmed her heart    
     
her children all awakened to the melody    
sleepy in their beds    
they smiled inside themselves    
their mother was so happy    
their roots tingled a little      
     
slowly one by one their petals open
and they drank in the sun    
tiny drops of hope    
they shared with the firmament its self      
     
the joy was then passed to the trees
great sentinels of old    
who keep watch    
they witness the sunrise    
and felt their mother's joy    
she then sent the wind      
to rustle their leaves      
and awaken them to the moment    
     
hummingbird came with a story all his own    
he whispered it to the flowers      
it was then recorded on their petals
sky read it and told the trees    
it was then scribed on their leaves    
     
finally, the sun saw the truth    
written in the sands  
is the magic of poetic life    
it revolved around him and his woman  
is witnessed in all that is natural      
   
so it was from the beginning    
and will be until the end
