Let me take you on a journey.

There's no need to be afraid.

But I do urge you to hurry,

Or you won't be able to stay.

You see, I have many things to show you,

Things I made and am proud of.

Would your behaviour change if you knew,

I created these things out of love?

For you see, I love life itself

And refuse to say farewell.

So let me show you my creations,

So maybe you'll stop destroying the foundations.

Know that our journey takes us to the fields.

To forests,

To oceans,

To marvelous creatures.

All enjoying the gentle breeze.

I want you to meet them.

Meet my daughter Chloris,

Who brings colour to the earth.

Meet my offspring Dryad,

Who keep the ground secure.

Meet my friend Poseidon,

Who brings life to my soil.

Meet the hard-working Actaeon,

Who now guards the life that roams my lands.

And of course, meet the gentle Aurae,

Who clears everyone's heads.

They all are very dear to me.

And I really want to urge you to see

That the way you mortals are behaving lately

Will result in your destruction, that much I guarantee.

For my name is Gaea.

I am the mother of this all.

And hard as you may try,

I will never fall.

this is absolutely gorgeous! your word choice fits very well with the nature vibe and the mood of the poem was great! stanza three bothered me a bit, though, because the first two stanzas had a steady rhyme scheme but this one broke it? i don't know if that was intentional or not, but it's a great poem either way! :heart_eyes:

Thank you so, so much! Yes that was intentional! I wanted to break for a bit to kindof ease the reader into the next part of the poemn so to speak!
