Speechless

SPEECHLESS
 
I shutter in awe of her divine shapely figure, 
viewing the bounty of her striking beauty.
 
I feel so small when I take in her
heavenly visions with my wandering eyes.
As I gaze at her bulging mountain peaks 
and her hollow caverns,
Mother Earth's fertility 
renders me speechless.
 
What a gracious lady she's been to me,
sharing her tranquil pools of clear water 
and her alluring water falls 
any time that I wish to use them.
 
How generous she is to 
the mass fleets of towering 
vessels that set sail daily, 
across her vast and mighty blue oceans, 
that pound against her jagged, 
rocky coastlines.
 
We search endlessly
through out the super novas 
to other limitless galaxies, 
that are trillions of light years away.
Yet no other planet hardly compares,
to our nobel  and fair beauty queen,
Mother Earth.
 
Let us begin to embrace and cherish,
how lucky we are to spend
our days with such a unique gem.
 
An oddity in all reallms,
she hangs around in our Milky Way.
She's truly one of a kind,
a lady that's impossible to find 
anywhere else in this universe.
 
She should leave us all
speechless...every day that we get to live 
in the ample bosom of this rare beauty.
 
 
 I wrote this for Earth Day.  It was a calender write.
