Meteor swarms

Upon the burning sphere

And acid rain and snow

From lashing skies

Of billions of years

With the vision of the creation

Proud she passed through fire and ice

A rising giant, carved with solar scars

Sculpture of cosmic battles

The shining citadel of stars

Breathing fields, crying sunsets

Raging seas, silent darkness

Menacing beings, flowing seasons

Colorful canvas

To the ecstatic journey of exaltation

Thus she braced the odyssey

Of manifestation

Sacred Gaia, Mother of breath

Trembling goddess, almighty earth

I kneel to countless ages

Of miracles revealed

Awaken upon your sacred ground

I felt, I breathed

My essence cried out loud

Granted this journey

Under your dark caress

I walk your path of perils

With flesh of your living flesh

And when I perish

Upon your sacred ground

And enter the realm of gods

Cast me to the endless

Awakening of rivers

As blood of your living blood

And cast me to the rising

Serenity of mountains

As flesh of your living flesh
