The flowers and plants are my sister's
And our friendship grows each day,
I belong with the ocean
Or near her shores
My roots grow in the sand
And the waves swallow me whole,
My feet are roots
Tethered to the dirt
Creeping their way deeper and deeper
Beneath the surface,
The sky is my future
But also my envy
I wish I could fly like my birds of a feather
Soaring over the mountains,
The lakes, rivers, brooks and streams
Fill my cup when empty
Washing away the grief
Reminding me to keep moving,
The moths and butterflies
Spiders and beetles
Are brothers of another world
Living in tiny forests
Droplets are pools to thee,
Giant footsteps
Please tread with care
"We are here" they whisper,
The burning stars, the planets spinning
Galaxies of far off mystery
A universe vast and unending
Reminders of how small we are,
Just like those ants you crush
We are microscopic to the moon,
The Earth is my mother
Every animal my brethren
The nature Queen is
Never lonely surrounded by my family.
