I was enchanted by the

Stars, burning so bright,

that I forgot the Earth beneath me,

the grass that cushions,

the roots that dig deep;

You are the touch of cool sand on barefeet.

A breeze blows softly on the coast

as I look up to the clouds my love

For the sky

Has not faded.

I look down to my feet

As waves wash up underneath,

And my love for the Earth that cradles me

Grows.

These two loves I hold simultaneously.

So deep, so separate,

But co-existing in Harmony.

I let the Earth carry me gently

The sky is for another lifetime.

This ground that holds me

Is home.
