Prayers
For The
Planet
The beauty of our planet is beyond question. Writing prayers of love and appreciation for The Earth and the perfection of nature is not only easy, it is a pleasure.
The Earth Ship Rides the Cosmic Tides
Let us rest on the bow of mother earth,
A great ship that rides the cosmic tides
Through day and night
Brown and green her lands
White and blue her sails
And we, specks of sacred dust
Must honour her journey
The mother ship holds and nurtures us
A million, million children and passengers
And we, her crew, her followers, her pilgrims
Must live, love and protect her
She gives home to leafy trees
Green plants – turning in joy towards the sun
Creatures great and small
Roaming the earth
Flying through air and water
The winged birds that soar -
Beauty in grace.
Carried and carrying clouds, wind and rain,
Dancing the spiral of life,
Feeding us and all in this world
Yet asking nothing
She is our mother
And we are as one
Let us share our devotion
To our mother earth
As she rides the cosmic oceans
Carried on celestial clouds,
A billion stars
Shine down on her
And we, specks of her sacred dust
Cherish and honour her
