Poem
Dear Earth The place I call home and the mother of all around me. On whose ground I stand when I contemplate the stars, Whose coarsing rivers flow in my very veins, And whose molecules constitute my very being I am amazed by you. You A blue and green cradle of life Rocking us slowly in the elliptical sliver of space that you traverse. You, a celestial body with a hard exterior but a warm center Not even amongst the biggest in this universe but an enigma all the same. You, the sight of which transfixes astronauts as they gaze from afar And me from up close, Each of us appreciating you from a different perspective I am amazed. I'm amazed by you in all your forms. I'm amazed by the undulations of your hills, The majesty of your mountains and the mosaics of color that cover them in the fall. And I'm amazed at the brilliant greens of your forest and fields as they offer verdant serenity. You are lush, and you are beautiful. I love your golden sunrises, blue skies, blushing scarlet and smoky sunsets, And the way the lakes reflect them. I hear your voice in the creatures that run and fly. I hear your whispers in the trees and feel them on my skin. Your breath fills my lungs and becomes my own. And when I look upon the vast oceans, with their rippling sheets of blue and see life beneath them I know there is more to you than I could hope to fathom. When I stand upon the beach, feet in the sand and watch the waves surge back and forth I feel your spirit beckoning me. The fall of your rain upon rooftops is music to my ears. Im amazed at the weather, even when its harsh And I even love how looks it when you're covered in snow, even though I hate it when its cold out. I love you from your shifting sand dunes To your cold ice caps When you hurt, so do I and my only wish is for you to heal For I am not separate from you And nor are you foreign to me We are connected And our relationship is mutual for better or worse And with that being said I want to say Thank you For everything that you are and everything that I am For my life My every atom I have only ever borrowed from you The one who gives, gives, and gives again In every facet, and every way Thank you Dear Earth I am amazed And I love you
