Earth; an invocation...

The Stones around us and beneath our feet,
The Trees; roots, trunks and branches,
The soil we plant, the ore we mine,
Tools of iron, steel, copper and clay,
Swords, hammers and plows,
The things we build, the houses we live in,
The clothes we wear, leather, wool, and silk,
The work we do, the money we earn,
The food we eat, meat, milk, fruit and bread,
A million shades of green, gold and brown,
Our arms, our legs, our shoulders and backs,
Bone, muscle and skin,
The body, the belly, the womb,
The drum and the dance,
The sex through which all life continues,
And the Grave,

Welcome Earth…
