Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Big Blue Marble

I had a dream the other night
Dreamt of flying, what a sight

Soared above our big blue marble
What I saw, I could only marvel

Inspired by the peaceful scene
The oceans blue, the forests green

If only man could soar so high
He'd view it all with a different eye

From way up there, no sign of war
No sign of hunger, of nations poor

Harmony reigns with joy supreme
Gliding over this tranquil scene

Call me a dreamer, maybe I am
Great way to be, I understand

What life's about and why we're here
Making friends and spreading cheer

Defining laws of right from wrong 
Singing a chorus of freedom's song

Looking forward to a better day
We can only hope and only pray

If people could see the bigger picture, and realize just how tiny they are in the overall scheme of things, it would be so much better. Thank you!

Carol Eastman September 17, 2014 at 12:12 PM Hey! You've solved next years Halloween costume idea, too! Dragon wants to be a big blue Earth... And the penguins want to be the other plants. Naturally, I'll be the sun! You know, the one everyone revolves around! HEH! HEH! This should be so cute... What? Oh! OH! Dragon heard me. He wants me to be the Earth and HIM be the SUN... It does kinda fitt. I'm the mother earth type... And he does have an ego as big as the SUN... OOOPPPSSS... Gotta run... He heard me AGAIN!... But it was worth it! LOL!
