More than simple existence

With the hunger and memories of need, the earth bears our seed
Humans wear a cloak of flesh, Mother Earth provides the breath
Our dreams live through existence, DNA has a persistence
We're witness, judgment self delivered, with no forgiveness
Why should we bother, born of strife, great pain to our mother
We want to live forever, we act like fools and embrace danger
It is time again to be whole, a lifetime of starving my soul
This is the moment when I embraced my being, dream again
At last I know I've earned new self esteem
As long as earth endures, my hope remains

“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair” Khalil Gibran
