Thin Blue Ribbon
Just A Thin Blue Ribbon
Sponsor: Rita A. Simmonds
It’s not just a globe…
The atmosphere’s wonder is held within a deep creation,
with natural lands made out of nickel, iron and clay,
a sphere with beaming skies and the dry land habitation,
with stretches of transparent water; oceans, seas and lakes.
From up here it seems so diminutive yet significant,
the big bang promised an earth with ages of interglacial,
I see the hazy cobalt air aspect making the world magnificent,
while I stare from above at the clouds for it's purely celestial.
The ethereal goodness of the skies shown three hundred miles below,
makes me wonder who actually created the earth,
unfortunately, all the pollution and littering has taken its toll,
I think the fossil fuels and natural gas are the worst.
I see nothing but black surrounding me…
A state of nullity with nothing to touch and adhere to,
one of the things I see is different shades of green,
the other thing I admire is the streaks in the sky of blue,
for no one can comprehend the flawlessness I have seen.
The elegance captured is priceless; worthy of praise,
there’s no exception when revealing its azure merit,
if we could only realize the globes beauty and embrace,
we are all a part of the earth’s ecosystem and are biospheric.
There is an impeccable wonder streaming around in my head,
the earth’s health is contingent upon the lifestyle we live in,
let’s save energy and support the world with love spread,
I observe in awe at a distance, that graceful thin blue ribbon.
