I am sharing this song and poem that I received on Tioman Island, Malaysia. As I sat by the mangrove forest, listening to the flowing creek, the songs of birds, and the chorus of insects, I was transported to an ancient time—as if the land itself was sharing this song with me.
Surrounded by trees, with bats gliding overhead, a beautiful melody began to weave itself through the gentle tones of the sansula. I could feel the vibration of an ancient story moving through my voice, echoing among the trees, the water, and the earth.
In that moment, it felt as though I was not creating the song, but receiving it—listening deeply to what the land wanted to express through me.
May this song reconnect your heart with the love of Mother Earth, and remind you of the ancient connection that lives within us all.
Story of the Land
Listen…
The story of this land is being told
Many have walked this land before you since the beginning of time
In the quiet moments of dawn
when the earth is still fresh
the soil beneath bare feet was damp with the lifeblood of a new earth
Ancient murmurs echoed among the trees
while rivers flowed freely across the open land
The songs of the birds
were shared by all who called this place home
Even today
the forest remembers
this familiar melody
that soothes the heart
Today
we share this song with you
so it may be carried forward
remembered
and revived
May humanity remember
that the Earth is our home
With deep love
we offer you the blessings
of what was once cherished
and has never truly been lost
In the quiet moments of stillness
remember
that you walk upon the land of gold
May each step
bring you closer
to your own heart
to love
Welcome home
You belong here
