Breath...

It is said that she was born around the same time as the sun and there has 
been whisper about her very old age, four and a half billion years they say; 
Of all her siblings in the solar system - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and
Saturn, Uranus & Neptune, she sits third on the throne nearest to the sun;
She is one of the only four terrestrial planets, according to the books and studies of Man, but remains unique in her biodiversity & is the only known planet to sustain life; She has long since been the only Home that Man has ever known - she is Earth...  

She is her very own womb, one and all at once with Mother nature, deeply
maternal and of astounding beauty; She is kind & bountiful, the very oasis 
of life and humanity drinks from her gushing springs; She thrives from the 
climate that bring about the magical seasons & the beauty of their colours 
and fragrance; She is the 'renewal' of Spring and the deep green valleys of 
Summer, she's the awesome colours of Autumn & the gentle snowflakes in 
Winter; She is the morning dew, the rising day and the dark veil of night... 

She is the purity of the wild daisies, scattered upon her wilderness and the 
dainty butterflies that flutter & dance in the morning sunlight; She is the 
flock of birds and the buzzing bees, the roars of the jungle and the countless 
species that swim in the depth of her waters; She is the robust centennial
trees and the ever blossoming fields of flowers and crop that sprout from 
her fertile soil; She is the primal cry of humanity and nourishes him from
the succulent fruit that grow in the vast orchids of her valleys...

She is the bigger part of the oceans and the very breath of life - Let not her
waters rise & flood nor her breath be strangled by the multiple activities of 
man, for she will have no choice but to rebuke in the most unmerciful ways 
and her kingdom could be destined to perish - Be kind to her for she is all & 
everything Man will ever have...
