Eårth Téåçh Mé ~ U†é ¶rå¥ér

Earth
Teach Me
to
Remember

Earth teach me stillness
as
the grasses are stilled with light.

Earth teach me suffering
as
old stones suffer with memory.

Earth teach me humility
as
blossoms
are humble with beginning.

Earth Teach me caring
as
the mother
who secures her young.

Earth teach me courage
as
the tree which stands alone.
Earth teach me limitation
as
the ant
which crawls on the ground.

Earth teach me freedom
as
the eagle
which soars in the sky.

Earth teach me resignation
as
the leaves
which die in the fall.

Earth teach me regeneration
as
the seed
which rises in the spring.

Earth teach me to forget
as
melted snow
forgets its life.

Earth teach me to remember kindness
as
dry fields
weep in the rain.
