I Vote For The Earth! Poem by Eric Cockrell

i vote for the earth....
her mountains tall and strong,
standing from time to time.

her trees the fathers of wisdom,
the image of change and the cycle...
her oceans dark and mysterious,

holding life from beginning to beginning!
her fields of grasses long and weeping
for the fallen and forgotten....

her breasts giving blood,
her arms wrapping around,
all that lives and dies and lives....

i vote for the earth,
and walk naked through her gardens!
