Reading some blogs I follow today I came across seven words from this one that jumped out at me. What follows is the result of those words.
Tread lightly and lovingly
upon the earth,
Balletic strength in honed
resistance.
Rise high above
the heavy hand,
Mother wreaks her own
persistence.
Tread lightly and lovingly
upon the earth,
Tip-toe through glens
and glades.
Hold hands and soar above
unscorched,
Partner’d faith to light
and shade.
Tread lightly and lovingly
upon the earth,
Inherent land mines
lie
In fissures, faults and
weaknesses,
She breathes
a weary sigh.
Tread lightly and lovingly
upon the earth,
Her balance guides
the day.
Her storm of fury
in excess
Demands
another way.
Tread lightly and lovingly
upon the earth,
Night’s end should
herald morn.
Tread lightly and lovingly
upon the earth,
Erred footprints
trample dawn.

wow that was fast! those words must have been galloping along your neurons at a startling pace. Well done, it’s beautiful and respectful – the two things needed in a guardian of the earth, and of course a poet! Do you mind if I re-blog this?

Never a problem to reblog and especially as it was your words that inspired the poem. Feel free. I’m glad you liked it. It came out in a quick blur. 🙂
