EARTH'S FLOWER by Ann Louise Ramsey

For the love of this beautiful Earth and the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.

Video, poetry and music by Ann Louise Ramsey.

Earth's Flower
Oh, Beauty...Earth's flower pressed in my book,
Preserved for me...I have only to look
Upon your fair face, you are always there...
My rose in the brambles, my breath of fresh air;
You are the stars above the hurricane,
My visions of love in a world insane.
Out of the sorrow, the hurt and the aching,
You push through poor soil...there for the taking;
As you surface, you rejoice, and I catch my breath
At the impact you have upon winter...upon death...
From the last gold leaves of October's fall,
To your grand reappearance down April's hall.
In every dawn, you proudly remove your veil...
Awakening the stones upon my trail;
Digging deep into my searching heart,
You take me, transform me into a part
Of your master plan...to open my eyes,
And answer my questions with sunlit skies.
You bring forth my faith as the angels pour
Your heavenly secrets through my earthly door.

Hi Ann,

I came across your recording of this tune on Fiddle Hangout and followed the link to your video. This is a wonderful audio visual presentation and I hope you will consider uploading more in the very near future.

@pastore0506 Thank you, George! I do plan to create more videos in the near future. Now knowing that others like yourself enjoy my videos inspires me to get busy creating more! Thank you again.
