Healing Poem by James L. A. Huetson

The word Universe means Unity.
Everything rolled into one.
Universe is World is Universe you see
So any wrong that is done
To one is really done to all.
If we betray our Mother Earth
Upon the whole Universe will fall,
The long-term resulting hurt.

To respect and care for Mother Earth
Is to serve the Creator of all life.
For she is the creation sent forth
To sustain us and help us live without strife.
Oh Mother Earth whose Soul sings with the stars,
Keeper of the spring for our provision,
Let us live in your bounty while you live in our hearts,
And to never forget our true mission.

Each must take responsibility
For their good or the disrespectful actions,
And work for the good of the Unity.
We always must be alert for better solutions.
Gratitude is the holiest of prayers.
We give our thanks for the beauty of Mother Earth,
And for desolving all of our fears.
Fears that are lost when daily matched with faith.

Unity blesses us with the matrimony of peace.
Our freedom is as vast as Mother Earth’s oceans.
No one can own Mother Earth. We can only lease,
For a lifetime, with unfilled aspirations.
The Creator of the Universe, and its Unity
Is in everything as Light, Life, and Love;
Serves all its creation with compasion and pity,
And hangs the sun and the moon in the sky above.

We have wounded Mother Earth with our greed.
She bleeds oil into her own fragil evironment
To satisfy the thirst for greater riches, not for need.
We strip mine her flesh to make more cement
To build bigger structures for us soon to destroy.
We rip out her lungs by destroying her forests
Then pollute her lakes and rivers with an alloy
Of garbage, chemicals, poisons and other pests.

Mother Earth is a living soul,
A part of the living universe.
Her wounds affect all life as a whole
And the healing requires your service.
Her future is only determined
By the choices you make this day.
Actions unchanged leave her undermined.
Love, not abuse, is the way.

All is one, one is all.
Rocks or mountains, sun or trees,
If it’s a lake or a waterfall,
Or even the waves upon the seas.
Be it a bear or tiger strong,
A buffalo or antelope,
It makes no difference, as long
As we know each has soul, we have hope.
