Letter: Awakening in Transition
‘Awakening in Transition’
The heart of Mother Earth is aching
She pulses with the pain of her people
Our mother’s need to heal her wounds
Cries out through her inhabitants
Darkness closes in and Love has lost its way
Earth swims in the wake of her galaxy
She no longer holds her sway
Is love in battle, depression and hate?
Do her winds and storms belie earth’s sadness?
Her tears fall in rains that flood her valleys
The wars give no respite to her bodily wounds
Her heart carries the pain of her children
as only a mother can
We must turn to Love for the answers
In distress Love reveals a new day
With the eyes of Love we’ll see hope
The light of Love will show the way
In these shifting winds of change Mother Earth
Turns inside out to find a heart anew
Her people must hold the harmonious notes
So the light of all hearts can shine through
Like diamonds in the rays of the sun
We will dance with Mother Earth’s joy
The truth will be shown, we are one with all
Each other, the trees, the moon and the stars
Wake up everyone, life can blossom once more
Compassion can reign over all
Peace can rise in the world, our hearts can ring true
Mother Earth can know balance again
