The Good Earth

Author's Note:  This is in response to the first chapter of the book which I read the last couple of nights.  I haven't really dug into the details but in the beginning of the book, the main character is getting married so I wanted to do something joyful and more of a romantic poem plotline.  I was thinking more of a poem style because it seemed ideal for this piece that I wanted to write.  Please leave feedback.

"The Song of the Ages"
The sun rises
in the sky so blue
with roses budding
and spring coming

As I open my eyes
I see nothing but beauty
As nature is flourishing
with every little drop of water

As I walk outside
the leaves start to bloom
and the grass sways
as if it's dancing

with the beat of my heart
keeping the rythm
of the song
played by the birds

And the plants
are green as can be
while the trees
laugh in the wind

And a song starts to play
in the forest of love
as I march forward
toward the stream of joy

As everything leaps
and the whole forest sings
I join in
to this great song

with the birds
singing the melody
and the trees
keeping the beat

with all of the plants
keeping our pace
and the grass
having much grace

The other animals in the forest
join in with the melody
as I sing my solo
of complete joy

and as I walk
towards that stream
with the whole forest
singing behind me

I feel the sudden joy
of being alive
and the last line of the song passes
but we do it all again.
