Wow, an awesome photo and such a perfect reminder that all life is held within her hands. Call her Gaia, Mother Nature, goddess – the Ancient Mother carries and grants all life – here goes

The Future Must Wait
Form: Alternating Sonnet 1

I hear her calling on the cooling breeze
Those unspoken words of the ancient tongue
Of her hands where nature’s beauty sprung
From the mountain peaks to powerful seas
The mother of life within Earth itself
Her bounty given to nurture our health
Her heart beat in a universal sigh
And still I hear her voice among the trees
As rustled whispers echo all day long
As I listen to her mystery song
For in her divine love I find my ease
It’s in her hands that the future must wait
Mother of earth…
