To the Mother Earth - (A Lyrical Look)

The Mother that gives Everything we Need


The more that I see of you,
The more smitten by you I am.
The more close I feel to you,
The more enchanted by you I am.

Even as I enjoy soaking in the golden sun
And though I cast my gaze at the blue sky,
As I walk upon the carpet of fallen leaves



And indulge my eyes with the colors of Autumn,
It is then that I feel so much closer to you,
And it is then that I realize how blessed I am.

So the more I feel close to you,
The more I realize what I am.
The more I know I belong to you,
The more I realize how human I am.

For from you I come, now to be free,
Nurtured by what you provide for All ,
I now recognize as Life given freely to me.
No Matter how Small We may seem Each of Us is Important

So thank you so much our mother Earth ,
You, Dear planet, on whom we call,
Here we children, sharing You are, by our birth.
So the more I am close to you,
The more I understand who I am.
The more I experience Life here on you,
The more I realize why I am the man that I am.

Sir, I loved the new design of the site.

And thank you so much for adding pictures and videos here. My poem was just some clay, you have really made sculpture out of it :)

@Chinmay: No so, my modest friend. Your poetry was the impetus which created the imagery that became the word picture above. It was that which inspired my selection of adornments to enhance the beauty that it already possessed. You were the author, I, as editor of this site, made some minor alterations and these are the results.

So Thank you, Chinmay, for this poem which now rightfully occupies center stage and front page!
Regards Mike (Aka The Professor) ;D

Hi Chinmay, how are you doing my friend! I am glad to see you writing here again. This is simply beautiful and the essence of its' creator shines through. The Professor only helps to bring out your own unique abilities and messages. I think we can all relate to the
message in this piece.

Hope everything is going well with you on BR.
I don't really spend any time there anymore.

Take Care and hope to talk to you soon.

Bye for now my friend. :)..

I am really sorry for the late response.

Once again thank you very much. I look forward to write more here. This site not only improved me as a writer, but it also has some of my best work as a writer, thanks to your edits :) So, it has always been my honor to be here :)

@Angel

I am so sorry ma'am, I have been out of touch for a long time. I am so glad you enjoyed the poem.

I am all good. I have reduced my role on B/R to a reader. I don't write there often anymore.

Professor have told me about the amazing work you have put on Hubpages. Unfortunately, I have not visited hubpages as much as I would have liked. But that is my bad.

Thanks once again :)

@Chinmay: You are as amazing as is your work here my friend. Angel has been under the weather as of the past 2 weeks so she has been limiting her activities on the internet. She asked that I convey her regards to you for the time being and she will update you when she returns back to good health soon! I am very happy with both her & your efforts here here and look forward to both of you returning when you can!
Regards Mike Aka the Professor! :D
