As I listen to the palpitating heart of my mother, Earth
I hear the fluttering cries of Ojibwe flutes,
and the powerful voices of the sacred thundering drums
as they call out to the watchful eyes of Brother Eagle flying high above in cerulean skies,

"Please spread your golden eagle wings
over all the lands below,
and cover them with understanding and wisdom,
and go find your Sister Dove
who will shower the people with Love.
Bring her back to Mother Earth, where
together you might help to
mend the madness wrought by mankind
on the heart and soul of The Mother,
and restore the balance of Nature and Life."

And I breathe a sigh of gladness
and hope that our destructive acts
of human madness
will dissolve and turn to love
and respect
for The Mother
who gave us Life.

Midnitesun, The Mother Earth needs all the help she can get. So many humans think that what is here is theirs for the taking and take they do!! This is such a beautiful poem and you paint such beautiful "word" pictures. Thanks for sharing, ME

Respect for the diversity of life, recycling, and the careful wise use of our resources is the only way our Mother will survive all the mischief her children have done for the past few generations.
