Gaia speaks as Mother Earth, whispers softly to her child
Child answers Isis, goddess of trees and forests wild

Pachamama swaddles babe and holds him to her breast
Babe at the vast hillside, snuggles Demeter’s ample chest

Nokomis feeds a bounty, daughter of the moon abides
Longs for Earth sustainable, Jord the mother, life provides

Danu nurtures fauna, she walks upon majestic plains
Call we must to Maka, Earth Mother known by many names

Anu hangs her head dismayed, a sadness wells up in her soul
Children cease to honor earth, wilderness since the times of old

Mother Nature, Goddess weeps a flood eternally
Feels the loss of nature, the Earth not what it’s meant to be
