! Take Me!

Rating: 3.0


take me! reclaim me!
o earth that has made me!
govern my being compleat
til you tame me,

your rhythms to keep,
your intents to pursue.
let me rise with the sun,
maybe cry with the dew,

may i rage with the thunder
and blaze with the noon,
and constantly change
like the face of the moon.

make my heartbeat to flow
with the pulse of creation,
govern each inflowing breath,
til the moment

you teach me to sleep.
then succombing with grace,
may i die in the winter,
by spring take my place

with the myriad other life forms
taking birth;
in time with the seasons
that govern the earth.

The rhythm of Earth will help you to rise towards sun and like sun you will definitely grow with courage. With the pulse of creation we feel the heartbeat. Season after season many seasons come in cycle and govern this Earth. This poem carries excellent theme. Earth reclaims the joy. An excellent sharing is done....10
