This poem is fifth and the final in the anthology of the poems based on the five elements. Please read the previous ones if you haven’t.
Earth –The Earth element represents the soil, grass, mountains, rivers. But it also represents the head, hair, body, nails, teeth, skin and flesh in our body.
“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
A mother
where we come from
to whom we return
you nurture us
protect us in the
harsh of the conditions
and feed us in the womb
With your groves, plains, and garden
the lush green arms
encompassing the mountains
and the river
quenches our thirst
keeps our vigor
Those changing seasons
a beauty undefined
each one is a
the carrier of the life,
so generous and benign
You are a symbol
of crops and fertility
those rivers and stream
and gushing waterfalls
proves your agility
Donning the lava
burned metal so pure
your wrath can
rise new mountains
can shake us to core
You are the Gaia
formed from the
primordial gel
you lie somewhere
between the
heaven and hell
Oh! Mother nature
no one can surpass your
generosity;
you nurture and keep
us in your cradle
while we humans
are sucking and corrupting
you with all our monstrosity.

Oh, Earth, such a beautiful orb in vastness of the universe. Complex in all its sciences, yet, simple in how it asks little from us but respect. Beautiful series, Megha!
