Trees are poems that Earth writes upon the sky. We fell them down and turn them into paper, that we may record our emptiness. ---Kahlil Gibran

I Am The Earth


Earth Day     By Jane Yolen

I am the Earth and the Earth is me


Each blade of grass



Each honey tree

Each bit of mud



And stick

 

And stone

Is blood and muscle, skin and bone.

 
 

And just as I

Need every bit

Of me to make

My body fit,

 

So Earth needs 

Soil

Water

 

And tree

And things that grow here


Naturally

 

I am the Earth and the Earth is me.
