mother of the world

Can you see as far as the stars in heaven
can you see through the clouds in the night
you are not different from the waves in the ocean
nor are you different from the leaves in the treethe flowers blossom in spring and soon dry in the sun
when in summer the rain disappears into the horizon and the lakes run dry
no wonder in autumn the branches remove their garment to stand like a skeleton in the shadow
and then winter brings the coldness with the breeze to replace the natural
carpet on the meadowthe volcano erupts from beneath the earth and takes the spoil into barren ground
the earthquake caused the mountain to tremble and the towers come crashing to the ground
to answer the anger of the wind the storm disrupts the flow of silence in the sea
and the tornado brings down the bridges to disrupt the unity of peace
that keeps the society freeyou are not blind but have the power of intelligence to create
you are not deaf but know to see knowledge to see the light of your soul
can you predict the future should you be allowed to lead
the symbol of your birth empowers you to succeed and never turn your back
against nature, she is still your mother indeed.
