Whispers of the Earth

Princess Susi Etelagi

As the sun rises over the hills at a peaceful dawn, the secrets of nature begin to
reveal themselves.
She spins tales dappled with dew on silken threads.
 
A life-symphony in which each leaf is a note. 
 
*The Green Cover*
 
**Verdant foliage** quivers like hymns,
Ancient wisdom inscribed in their veins.
Every branch is a prayer that reaches upward.
A monument to tenacity and perseverance over the years. 
 
*The Lament of the River*
 
**Rivers** meander, sculpting valleys through rough stone with silver-voiced
minstrels.
They carry the elixir of life to parched lips while singing about the passing of time and sorrows carried. 
 
*The Petal Dance*
**Flowers**, angelic dancers in dresses glistened with sunlight, spin and sway with captivating pirouettes.
Their hues—ruby, sapphire, and gold—paint the atmosphere,
A palette bestowed by the hand of the Master Artist. 
 
*The Birds' Symphony*
 
**Choristers with feathers**,
seated atop branches,
Write songs that reverberate through canopy.
Their tunes—joyful, melancholic, triumphant—celebrate life, blending in perfect
harmony with the breeze. 
 
*The Mountains' Breath*
The old sentinels **Peaks** reach the heavens.
Their heads decked with snow bowed in respect.
They are keepers of mysteries engraved in stone; cradling secrets whispered by
the universe. 
 
*Praise to the Rain*
**Pebbles**, silver blessings, a kiss to the parched land, quenching thirst,
bringing dormant seeds back to life.
They descend gracefully, adorning the altar of life.
a rite of rebirth and second opportunities. 
 
*Blessed by the Sun*
And when the world awakens—a resurrection of hues—the sun, **golden.
priest**, bestows his blessing.
As we observe this holy ritual as simple travelers, we are thankful for every
breath and heartbeat.
 
Thus, let us walk carefully, for our souls are cradled in this earthly cathedral, this
refuge of roots and wings.
cradles our spirit.
May we listen to its songs, respect its frail grandeur, and find comfort in the
earth's murmurs.
 
*— A wonder-seeking pilgrim*
