Certain Notions About Earth

Certain Notions About Earth Oceans fill themselves with liquid pleasure Storms corner the world to make it spin Fires feed themselves with a desire to be the sun Deserts take their time to sort through sand Grains get in the way of weather as they travel west Certain winds move by themselves forever up Lands shift but mostly hold objections down along tectonics faults Grounds swallow rivers until saturated or full But were made for walking, along with mountains Thermometers can tell you this That deep inside the core are metals molten red Rocks get older with each period and each age Trees hold the Earth in place and dream of greener days Animals have their place But that’s a lesson for another day
