EARTH DAY serves to remind us just how incredible and unique our home planet is. From her atmosphere to her rivers, Earth has everything we need to survive.
If we want to make sure future generations can thrive in Earth’s beauty, we must actively protect natural resources, care for other species and always choose to invest in learning more. Frankly, Earth doesn’t need us, but we need Earth, so let’s show her our love (and not just on Earth Day)!
Below: My expressions through 10 Earth haiku poems and photos of places that have left me in awe
***
Earth, I love you so
Mountains, rivers, trees and sky
A beauty beyond
***
Red rock above all
A copper desert sunset
Coyotes will howl
***
She lives in balance
In conserving momentum,
mass and energy
***
Vast lands were once lush
Now troubled and in danger
World to protect
***
Ocean meeting sky
Warm wind gentle and freeing
Breathing sea breeze air
***
Pillows in the sky
Bringing water to the ground
Freely floating past
***
Twisted at their base
through their webs of rooted life
Trees, swaying yet firm
***
Mountains that humble
Even the strong and mighty
A strength to reflect
***
Water carved canyons
Waves crashing, thunder roaring
Forces of nature
***
A place we call home
Free for us to be living
Uniting us all
Truly, Tashiana
