Mother Earth

An ode to Mother Earth

Over a babbling brook
Under a canopy that shook
Ruminating on every plot hook

Meandering down a storybook
Observing each robin and rook
Those travelers find the time that took
Here among the paths to see and look
Every gentle tale and nighttime spook
Recalling every running river and brook

Tranquil trails here to be undertook
Here away from the gobbledegook
Each new discovery a page the scrapbook

Evoke the serenity with every song and hook
Ancient places where no secret can be mistook
Remembering things that should never be forsook
Tranquility holds here in every cranny and nook
Here, in this place, over the babbling brook
