Spirit of the Earth

Renewal, even in the depths of drifting ideals
A covenant, made at creation’s perception
Breeze blown, in whispers of loyal oaken leaves
Buried in white sleep, until the gold of forthcoming
Clear cut her hair, and she is adorned in another style
Grown in the fanciful mirror of change, its clarity crisp
Coat her in dust, only to awaken to the showers of April rain
Clean and refreshed, as the psalms predict, reborn and steadfast
Spirit of the earth, a prayer said in every dawn
Promised at each twilight
Devotion
Is her kiss

This 'write' (in my opinion) deserves another 'visit' near the top of the
'P.I.P.-land' queue [particularly during the time of Nature's spring awakening!]

continuing applause for this 'penning' !!
