I am the Earth
I am the sky
The life giving waters
The all consuming firesTo me you belong from birth
Until the day you die
All creatures are my sons and daughters
Through the eons until the sun’s heat expiresAgain and again I see souls rebirth
Sometimes a soul ascend, grow wings to with spirits fly
You need to nurture those deep diving free thinkers
To let them hope and change inspireOtherwise you’ll die on a barren earth
Damned however much you then regrets cry
The time to act is now! Do better!
Do what your mother Gaia requiresStop being nature destroying vampires!

Written for Poetics: Exploring the Narrative Voice at dVerse. For some reason this one was hard. Perhaps because I needed to choose my narrative voice before starting, instead of just having it happen as I go along.
This is the second time I’ve written in Gaia’s voice. The first was a Gaia’s Nightmare, a flash fiction piece.
Well said, and thanks for giving Gaia a powerful voice! A rousing response to the challenge:
‘The time to act is now! Do better!’ – I couldn’t agree more!
Very nicely written Helene! We do suck the life out of everything we come in contact with!
Great stuff. I love the powerful voice you have given Gaia here. We need to listen to it.
So true, so true. Well don ~~~~
So true, so true. Well done ~~~~
Excellent Heleen, so well written! Strong voice…
Wowww! You have given Gaia such a very powerful, strong voice here! I love; “To me you belong from birth/Until the day you die/All creatures are my sons and daughters/Through the eons until the sun’s heat expires.”💝
I hope that we may all listen to her before it’s too late.
