Sister World

Oh sister world that can’t be seen
You dwell beside our haunting moon.
Are you like Earth, are your fields green?

Do you have aqua oceans too
With waves that lap upon the shore,
And snow white sands that meet the blue?

Have you cumulous clouds on high
That rise above the ocean’s tide
And mingle with the azure sky?

Oh dreamy world I’d like to know
If you share beauty we behold,
If you’ve seasons where flowers grow?

It matters not that I can’t see
Your planet dwelling beside us,
Only that we share harmony.

We share a curiosity of what is out there, dear Connie... I believe one day we will know all, but not in this life. I don't think our minds could comprehend the wonders.. Beautifully written ponerings!... Hugs.. Arlene

Whatever the rules are, Connie, you have written a very beautiful poem! I often wonder like you what exists beyond our view! Your final stanza is a lovely acceptance of what there might be. All the best...love & peace. // paul

connie, I have just seen another one for this contest and am growing very curious what it is about becuase that poem was much shorter than yours. this is so nice. it reminds me of parallel universe or something. Way to get on a contest bandwagon so quickly, sweet friend. Have a very happy New Years eve.

Everything we have always wanted to know. Between the beautiful picture and your wonderfully written poem I wish I could be there. It looks like some awfully big footprints in that sand though.
