Earth.
Earth gave her body, she gave it us to share.
her breath once sweet, now pollutes the air.
Her waterway of veins, once were crystal clear.
Now they hold our garbage lifeless pools and mires.
Earth gave us her body she gave it us to share.
She gave us animals for pleasure, and yes for food.
Not to be hunted to extinction, penned up and abused.
She gave us her forests, for shelter and for fuel.
Not for mass developments, using greed as cutting tools.
Earth gave us her body, she gave it us to share.
The soil she gave for harvest of plants that now are rare.
For medicine and minerals. silver bronze and gold.
HER TREASURE CHESTS OF BEAUTY, WE’VE PILLAGED, RAPED AND SOLD.
Earth gave her body, she gave it us to share.
Now her tears are falling, can’t you see her pain.
The bombs that we are testing, fall out -- floods-- the rain.
Wars between each nation, like stabbings in her back.
Earthquakes,------------thunder, lightening, she’s crying with each crack.
“Enough” she cries “enough”, as planet earth disrupts.
Her breaking heart that bleeds, volcanoes then erupts.
Her breath now rages anger, tornadoes swirl revenge.
Beware the human race, planet earth could still avenge.
Earth gave her body, she gave it us to share.
The beauty is all around us, forever standing there.
Let’s not take her for granted, for some day she will rebel.
Treat her with some kindness, our fellow man as well.
Earth gave her body, she gives us life.
Lets stop all our hating, stop the greed and strife.
Earth gave us a garden, she gives us love.
Love is the only answer, god tells us from above.
Earth gave her body, give her your respect.
For she might rebel, turn her back, sooner than you’d expect.
So help her through her torment, heal her wounded sores.
We can start by healing each other around her windy shores.
Love her and those upon her, take away her tears.
Her promise in return, Rebirth the “Golden Years!”.

All Life is precious, the above poem I have posted here before many years ago… We are all of us reliant upon Mother Earth to survive..
All photo’s taken by my Sister. When I asked her if I could share them, she said ” Yes, Nature is Free, and it’s a beautiful thing”..
Thank you Little Sis… You are beautiful too! and I so love you.. 💖

May we each of us learn to live in harmony with each other and Mother Nature.
She brings us our daily breath, and our daily bread..
May we bring her our LOVE

Dear Sue,
What a majestic creature you have painted! The shafts of light casting into the forest also seem to be magical and mystical at the same time.
Speaking of such an important commemoration as Earth Day, I have also published a post or two about it in the past.
I would also like to remind us of what you mentioned exactly one year ago about choices in healing our hearts. Your following thoughts resonated with me deeply:
In return, I would like to share with you a pertinent illustration as follows:
May we appreciate Mother Earth for all her nurturing!
Yours sincerely,

Dear Sue,
Here’s more musing about Earth Day in relation to the sun, and also looking back at Earth out in space.
The recent total solar eclipse was quite a sight to behold. Speaking of astronomy and looking up into the sky, the late Carl Sagan had been such a wonderful human being that we desperately need more people like he nowadays, people who can inspire others so amicably and commendably. I have read many of his books, including “The Demon-Haunted World”. I read these books a long time ago, and thus feel delighted and also very nostalgic when watching documentaries or YouTube videos containing Sagan’s words of enduring significance.
His message about the “Pale Blue Dot” provides such a lovely, grand and unifying prose to prompt us to do something about being good earthlings and cultivating critical thinking! His words always elicit in me a feeling of nostalgia, humility and profundity. Needless to say, this message is presented as the very last quotation in my expansive multimedia post about Earth Day at
What an inspirational life Sagan had! The series “Cosmos” is such a watershed for its breadth and depth, not to mention Vangelis’ music. As you probably already know, Neil deGrasse Tyson, a scientist who greatly admires the late Carl Sagan, has presented the new series of “Cosmos”.
I also own the book entitled “Carl Sagan: A Life” by Keay Davidson.
There is also his daughter Sasha Sagan’s beautiful memoir/humanist manifesto/love letter to the Cosmos, entitled For Small Creatures Such as We: Rituals for Finding Meaning in Our Unlikely World“.
Yours sincerely,
SoundEagle

That an invisible corner has been turned, and while we may not see it as yet on the surface, you can feel the love of our planet bubbling beneath all the Hype out there.. As people begin to wipe the sleep from their eyes to what is truly going on in our world..
So I am very optimistic about our future world dear Miriam.. And as I said within another comment.. Today I heard on MSM news here in England today the mention it was Earth Day.. Something I have never heard mention before in all the years I have supported Earth Day..

Beautiful poem and how mankind ravaged.Gaia. there are some people throwing their light and love towards her The healing has begun more so now than ever now.

The other way that negativity is harbored is in the global pool Star ing wars, environmental issue. It’s easy and so hard for others and that is to love.

Looking through my archives, I had also written a poem of a disastrous oil spill in the ocean. But that was too dark a scar for the energy I wished upon Earth Day this year.
For I feel more people are aware now of their environment and that it is our responsibility not someone else’s.. to care for Nature in all its forms..

A very thoughtful poem that you revisited, Sue. So apt for our times. Earth is the reason why many of us are here and connected to each other. She certainly gave us many things we take for granted, from the harvest of plants to her minerals as you mentioned. Sadly as a collective we have a long way to go to making our planet a sustainable one. The Earth and the Universe listens; sometimes she does rebel to get our attention. Yet we tend to pay attention for a moment and then go on with our lives as before.
I do think there is more awareness about this planet as time goes on, slowly but surely. For instance, plastic bags are being phased out over here in groceries stores here in Australia. Reusable bags here are so much more common now. These little things are a step in the right direction. Your sister shared such beautiful photos. Nature is indeed beautiful in her own right and asks only for love in return. I hope you are doing well. Wising you well, Sue 😊❤

I agree Mabel, a little often goes a long way.. Plastic shoppings bags were stopped to be given out free by supermarkets here a few years ago.. You can still purchase them, but most now go for the Big Bags for Life bags.. to reuse over again..
I will pass on your compliments to my sister she will be pleased her photos are getting compliments..
And thank you we are fine Mabel… Keeping on keeping on.. 🙂 xx ❤ Sending much love right back at you xx ❤

Here in Australia, it is hard to purchase plastic bags now. Grocery stores here prefer you to purchase a carry bag or recyclable grocery bag. A change for the better. Thank you for sharing your writing and thoughts as always, Sue. Hope the week ahead is a good one for you ❤

Earth Day IS everyday! Else we cease to breathe and function – when will the greedy bow to the knowledge of this? I think it is coming, truly. Meanwhile, those of us who honor and work with her grow in numbers. I have just spent 12 hours watering everything in freezing wind and gray skies – even though we supposedly are closing on this property May 13, how could I not continue caring for what earth and I have created together, these four years? When we bought the ranch, trees were sad and dying – now all are thriving – the elm, once in her death throes, holds a magpie nest! So unusual, they are shy creatures – and she will keep the sapsucker away, which was tapping the trunk and making the tree lose life force. So pleased! So now roses are pruned as are larger shrubs, Oriental poppies and lilies are flourishing if not yet blooming – yes! How would we live on a planet devoid of such beauty? Blessings, Sue! 😍

Wow, Sue, your painting is incredible, and your poem is both beautiful and powerful. I fear that our planet isn’t going to win. Mankind has done his damage, and I’m unsure if it’s reversible. But we continue to do our small part to nurture her and enjoy the gifts she offers. Your sister’s photos are also gorgeous, and I love the idea of nature being free. I see her photos and I want to be sitting by the lake, relaxing, taking it all in. Big hugs and lots of love to you! xoxoxo

That is a special poem, Sue.
It’s unfortunate that its message is still relevant, and from what I can see will remain so for a time to come, yet.
Some are trying our best.
Your painting is exquisite, Sue.
Your sister’s pics are wonderful.
Thank you to both of you! 🌎💓
