Poem: Earth Is Our God

Earth is our God
Diane Dolphin

Earth is our God
our body, blood, our host.

She created us to serve Her
to preserve Her life
nurture Her health
the harmonious song of

Her organs, the continents
Her womb, the oceans
Her veins, rivers and streams
Her lungs, the forests
Her breath, clouds, snow and rain

Her cells: we are Her cells
and the ants and lions
lizards and sparrows
Her consciousness, our souls.

"Earth is Our God" appears in my origami poetry book, Big Thoughts, through the Origami Poems Project. http://www.origamipoems.com/
