HIVE OPEN MIC - WEEK 165 "In Love With Mother Earth/Nature 🌍🌲🌱🙏🌵🥀🌺🎤🌻🎸

Theme Chosen by @wizj, Thank you, Nice choice!

Greetings my friends, How is everyone doing this fine day? 😎 This is @danaidhbee posting to you today from Scotland

It might seem scary and/or depressing to be reminded of this but: LIFE IS SHORT! Appreciate every moment!

It’s so very short that we probably do not yet fully appreciate what life really is and how precious and short it is, and we may never know, unless we try to seek and discover our own meanings in life, and why we are here in this beautiful Mother planet.

• So be thankful for each moment you have on this earth, mainly the present moment right now...

I want to Thank you for taking time to stop by to read and listen to my post. I hope this is a precious moment for you too 🙏

I am a HUGE lover of all things natural/nature. Having autism I tend to absorb and remember vast amounts of detailed information about things - that I like, and things that I don't like - sometimes without even realising it. So this gives me a really strong photographic memory which comes hand in hand with: *birdwatching, gardening, caring for nature, appreciating nature, documenting it, and sooo much more! :)

So, Today I would like to share with you my song about how Mother Earths elements and weather - can make you feel, and how I use her elements and weather in my song to describe - how I am/was feeling.

This song was written by my window about 9 years ago on a glorious serendipitous day, that I had purposefully took a few hours off to chose to write a new song, just for the sake of writing a new song. :)

• { Meaning of serendipitous = an occurrence and/or discovery, found or noticed by chance in a positive and/or beneficial way }

I had a rough idea, I had a melody in my head, so I started to write down the first things that came to my head as I was looking out my window...

I thought about my life, and All life, in great depth, and wrote down in the first poetic words that came to my head, no rubbing out. Just go with it. Be relaxed and open minded.

This is what came out...
👇🏼{ Lyrics } 👇🏼

{ Verse 1 }
The sun shines as me,
The rain cries for me,
The wind blows me love,
And the fire keeps me warm,

{ Chorus 1 }
When the fire keeps me warm,
The fire keeps me warm,
But when the fire keeps us warm,
The fire keeps us warm.

{ Verse 2 }
When the earth holds me close,
And the air breathes me calm,
And the ocean floats me home,
To where love is in my hands,

{ Chorus 2 }
When love is in my hands, I mean, Love is in my hands,
Your hands they don't lift up love,
Love lifts up your hands.

{ Verse 3 }
When the night keeps me awake,
In the day I must rest,
The fight to live everyday,
Has slowly become the lesson,

{ Chorus 3 }
When the lesson,
Has become the lesson,
Don't you mistake,
And when the lesson,
Is the lesson told,
Don't you forsake.

{ Verse 4 }
We must teach ourselves,
And the children,
Not to be doing,
What they'll do to them,
We can't waste our years,
Just working,
'Cause then, in life,
We're just passing through again,

{ Chorus 4 }
Just passing through in life,
Not me, just them, it's right,
Just passing through in life,
When will they see the light?

Just passing through in life,
Not me, just them, it's right,
Just passing through in life,
When will they see the light?

{ Outro Chorus }
When the fire keeps me warm,
The fire keeps us warm,
Your heart doesn't create love
Love creates your heart,
When the lesson has become the lesson,
Don't you forsake,
Just passing through in life,
When will they see the light?

{ Outro }
{ End }

Then I thought, hmmm... what chords can I use?

(This is my son btw, not me😎)

I was kind of a beginner at the time and didn't know much about any of the names of chords/scales/rhythm etc...

So I closed my eyes and touched the fretboard in a random place and started moving shapes around (with a few pieces of my knowledge about guitar) and then to my surprise the chords just started flowing beautifully with neat little dainty 7ths chords flowing down nicely to the bottom of the neck into a G where it then rises up to the catchy melodic chorus giving vibes of sailing, floating, flying, campfire, love, passion and so much more.

If I had to make a music video for any of my songs, I would choose this song because the poetic lyrics paint so many vivid pictures of life, death, rebirth, love, earth, nature, struggles at school with horrible teachers, bullies, bad companions, and the cruel punishments of the "injustice system", and also lovely calm vibes of being at one with nature and life itself.

Mother Earth is our true mother, she forgives and forgets then just sits and takes all the shit us parasitical humans do to her wonderful being. It's not fair that she has poisoned with plastic and chemicals and her animals are killed and harvested for profitable gain and wealth.

Her trees and plants are mauled down and turned into pointless buildings and purposes. Her air is polluted by drivers who could easily cycle, walk or use another mode of transport, and so on and so forth, but she just takes it, recovers, and moves on.

She was here before humans, and she will be here after we are gone too. Unless the sun absorbs her and we all have to move to mars.. 🤨
