earth song

 
the drumming begins and with a humming breath
the guardians are announced
as deep old magic is performed

in my mind's eye I see the past
earth as she first was
great beings of renown blessed her

so many revolutions
while a dream was made manifest
many earth ages have come and gone

so much beauty here
ceremonial thanks is given
from a grateful heart

learning my place in the great universes
I witness the art of courtship watching the birds
realizing their design is nothing short of genius
not forgetting the beauty of their song

everything in nature is a work of art
so precise in its expression
it is by no accident we are here
even the trees silently testify
raising their limbs heavenward lest we forget

I am enraptured as the drums continue
my heart pounds in my chest to the beat
I don't know where we're heading
but I'm so happy to be here with you
