Ode to the Earth
Long live the forests, the graceful trees
The keepers of secrets, the calmest of souls
Long live the seas, the powerful waters
Kind and terrible, forever in motion
Long live the mountains, their majestic strength
Bearing the weight of the world, never do they falter
Long live the rivers, the most cheerful of nature's forces
Chuckling as they trip and fall, the innocence of a pure world
Long live the valleys, their peaceful beauty
Golden grasses sway; hilltops bear the sun on their shoulders
Long live the sunrise, a glorious world is dawning
Light crowns all creation; the world is aglow with breath-taking beauty
Long live the sunset, a beautiful day is fading
The dwindling light, the sun's goodbye until morning
Long live twilight, a mysterious hour
Darkness encompasses all, making light all the more precious
