My mother,
my earth,
let me not
spurn
your delicate cries
and ignore
your forceful pleas.
Help me to
hear the
deep sighs
that you utter
In the face
of my neglect
and avarice.
Let me respond
in actions
to all that
you say as
my mother,
as my earth,
as the source
and the ground
of my life,
my future
and my hope.
