Earth

the earth wraps her cool arms around me,
watching over her daughter.
Her dutiful eyes keep me safe,
the sweetest breath upon my cheek.
Embracing her was the hardest sacrifice,
her love the greatest gift.
Ne'er again will I struggle to find peace
Within the world I live,
For when I look upon her skin,
I know her secret that lie so deep,
the love and trust that is so far below,
in the darkness of her heart.
