As I Lay On My Pillow

I sigh as I lay on my pillow, to allow my thoughts to fly In dreamed flight my minds external, looking down my eyes tell me why I still see an orb of beauty, mesmerised I'll always be It's the events that take me to the above, us fortunate to have seen Her clarity is not just the same, as I peer through chemical clouds It's her weather that shows her anger, erupted, so aloud For my eyes now venture so deep, I can see her hurting terrain Scarred, torn and twisted, she'll never be the same Blown, blasted, and mined, devastation she's torn from her seams The deeper I go to her internal, her nightmare enters my dreams .

It sure is Jan, and nearly all of my poems relating to 'Earth' have a message in them. As a man, I praise women, and heckle man, for what they've done..................James......
