Happy Earth Day!

For the 55th year, the world is using the day to celebrate Mother Nature and the wonderful planet we live on.

***********************************
Dried pods linger, steadfast, high,
Clutching branches, near the sky.

Some release with a gentle spin,
A whispering dance where life begins.


Their flight, a spiral, calm and free,
Guided softly by earthbound decree.

From branch to soil, a timeless thread,
The Earth's embrace where dreams are fed.


Each seed a vow, a quiet plea,
To root, to rise, to form the tree.

Cycles unbroken, nature's art,
Renewing the world with every start.
