Grounded in Earth
Grounded in Earth
The mountains keep me humble, standing at their feet -
remind me that I’m small, remind me that I’m weak.
The sea she keeps me present, reminds me not to crash -
her mermaids sing sweet lullabies, while offering a flask.
The clovers keep me curious, telling me tall tales -
inviting me to tea parties with fairies and with snails.
The stars they protect me, blanket me in light -
listen to my prayers, when I can’t sleep at night.
The trees they keep me sheltered, hidden under bows -
in snow or autumn leaves, this world is safe and sound.
The breeze she keeps me peaceful, reminding me of change -
let things come then watch them go, the best is on its way.
The storm will scream and moan, and slash the earth with light -
although it rages on, it brings me peace tonight.
