EARTH SONG

I live on a mountain, I live by the sea,
I live in a valley, I live by a stream,
I live on the Earth, the Earth is my home,
My home is my body, the home of my mind.

The wind blows through grasses the wind blows through trees,
My breath is the wind, that blows through me,
The eyes in the sky, the eyes of awareness,
The sun by day, the moon by night. 

This is my song, a love song for Earth,
The Earth in my bowl, the Earth in my cup,
the earth in my arm, I hold you with love.
I hold the day , I hold the night.
The night in my arms.
