I am the earth, my core burns.
I am the ground, where you walk.
I am the streams of rivers you see sparkling under the sun.
I am rock.
I am the water that flows through creeks that lead into oceans so wide. My trees creep and grow over my mass body of land.
I am nature, I am the deserts you see, stretched far and wide.
As hot as the sun, as cold as ice.
I am the mountains you see so great and strong.
I am where you live, I am where you plant.
I am the fire burning, harvests growing.
I am as powerful as a hurricane and as weak as dust.
Hard as stone and soft as a leaf growing, flowing, in my breeze.
I am fury, I am hope, I am destruction, I am your salvation, I am the Earth.
