To appreciate our planet;
begin with its snowcapped mountains,
where sunbeams morph crystals of ice
into gems of glistening light.
Witness white clouds traverse the skies
floating on a vista of blue,
or a setting sun smear scarlet
onto puffs of marshmallow white.
See jungles at its equator
create a sash of vibrant green,
and burnt sands ripple its deserts
with shifting dunes of tans and creams.
See its leafy forests change from
deciduous to evergreen,
and tundra pitted with blue lakes
fade to stretches of virgin snow.
Watch volcanoes erupt in flame
spewing plumes of ebony smoke,
and lava bleeds from gaping wounds
while giving birth to molten Earth.
See azure and aquamarine
waves crested with white foamy froth,
or its tilted poles capped in ice
sparkling like crystalline jewels.
View it from afar as it twirls
within the vacuum of space,
as a phantasmagorical
cerulean marble, called Earth.
