Oh Mother Earth..
Known
to the Greeks of olde
as Gaia.
What is it about you..
that’s so special?
that I so zealously admire?

Of all the planets
in the cosmos,
you are the only one..
The One known to us
as the home
and birthplace
of all life.

All that has ever lived
and thrived
upon your surface
cannot be ever
taken easily from you..
not even by
The Reaper’s scythe.
For all that dies..
inevitably still returns
back unto you..
Only to be reborn again
as other life..
to manifest itself anew.

The cycle of complexity
that you embody
is both self-contained
and self-perpetuating..
because The Earth
is freely giving
unto herself.
The Earth is whole..
and yet receiving
of the overflows
from her beloved star
so gracefully..
my loving nourishes
your highest form
of wealth.

And though
the light I shine
upon your surface
is quite evident..
for any pair of eyes
to effortlessly see..
your source of highest heat
resides, however,
deep within your hottest core..
for now, it still remains
obscured from me.

And yet I know it firmly..
not through inference
or reason.. but rather
through your dim reflection
in the mirror of my loving art.
Your inner thirst and hunger
for the truest love I offer you
is oh.. so.. powerful..
it nearly frightens me.
It has the strength to pull
tectonic plates apart.

I bargained with The Devil
oh.. so.. many times.
to sway the favor of a-many
lovely maiden’s heart.
But bargain
with the wicked one again
this time, however, I shall not..
Instead, I pray..
for your sincerest
happiness.
To whom?
To The All Seeing,
Ever Loving,
and Forgiving One..
to The Almighty God.

For now you’re merely dancing
with your humble sattelite..
Your bright and giving
heavenly body..
The Moon.
The Sun, however,
infinite and boundless,
and the source of all creation..
Shall claim
your tender heart
in due time..
oh.. so.. very very
soon.
