Lessons From the Earth
(Native Poetry)

Walk through the mountain’s trail
Where your ego cannot be heard
Listen to the Earth’s heartbeat
Where the ancient wisdom is transferred
Allow the winds spirits to caress your face
And taste a freedom so new
Drink purity from nature’s waterfall
And quench your thirst so true
Gaze into a lake’s still waters
And find your natural reflection
Open your ears to hear yourself
As your test of real introspection
These are the lessons from Mother Earth
That stay with us forever
Let’s embrace them as part of life
And help us with every endeavor!
