Asking The Earth

Call me dear Earth
To come work for you
Whisper into my ears
What I can do

Call me where
You would like me to go
Show me whatever
You would like me to know

Tell me how I
Can be your scribe
And take your message
To the rest of my tribe

I’d like everyone
To see your glory
And experience your magic
Through my poem or story

Guide my fingers
When I write something down
Gift me the words
Each verb, each noun

Guide my thoughts
Give me some clues
Show me the colours
The shades and the hues

Tell me how I
Can help ease pain
When my tribe is locked
In stress and strain

I ask cos I know
You hold the key
To the joy of living
In harmony
