Lunar Petal 14

Can you remind me to stay humble?

Remind me that this planet has gravity

You were the sweetest girl when we were younger,

as we got older and older,

I understood just how amazing you were to my sanity

Your beauty is one of Gods greatest creation,

A living sculpture painted with divine colors,

Clarity is a state of mind,

And you’re that first sip of coffee in the morning,

Even through droughts, famine, and natural catastrophes

You’re the grace and shelter when it’s storming,

You’re all that I would ever need.
