Mother Earth
  My voice sends soaring pines to the sky, and
  Mountains to their knees
  The curve of my lips imitate the clouds
  That ride with the breeze
  The slope of my shoulders make the valleys
  That spread across land
  My hands that sculpt the wildflowers fields
  Flatten dunes of sand
  My hourglass shape counts down the minutes
  Hours, days, and years
  My thighs and calves stretch endlessly, like the 
  Dark that holds no fears
  I’m the force that shakes the earth when I speak
  The power in touch
  I’m the key to the great unknown, though they
  Say I am not much
  My body is written in the landscape
  My skin speaks the truth
  You speak my songs and I give you my wealth
  For you are my youth

If you can feel that Mother Earth is in you, and you are Mother Earth, then you are no longer afraid to die.
