Mother Earth

Her eyes are like lightning
Fatal but wondrous.
Her virtues are irreplaceable 
They're all you need to live.
The changes in her emotions
Reflect upon our daily living.
Oh, but the love in her soul
Is what binds nature with you and me.

But when you treat her wrong 
Exploit her gifts,
Her tears shall warn you
But soon drown you in an ocean of helplessness
Her revenge is anything but a mere portrayal of her anger
It is a fire that shall never burn out.

She is beautiful
For all that she can take
But give so much more.
Until
You take it all.
