Best Song Earth Poems
"I have a dream, a song to sing"
About an earth seen from up in space
Like an Agate marble swirling green
How much longer will that be the case
When the broad picture viewed be defaced
"I have a dream, a song to sing"
About an earth that now has many faults
People here are fighting death to brothers bring
When our leaders to us say what is false
But I believe in angels with them I waltz
"I have a dream, a song to sing"
When I cross that river stream
On my way over I'll turn and see
An earth that has healed been redeemed
As I cross that stream_into my everlasting dream

SONG ABOUT THE EARTH
Vladimir Vysotsky
Is the earth, as they say, burnt and dried?
Will a seed, as they say, never sprout?
Has the earth, as they say, really died?
No! It’s taken a lengthy time-out!
Mother Earth will forever give birth,
Its maternity isn’t a fiction!
Don’t believe that they burnt down the earth,
No! It’s blackened from grief and affliction.
Trenches, running like scars back and forth …
Bleeding guts black shell-craters expose …
They are open nerves of the earth,
Which unearthly unhappiness knows.
It will stand wars and grief — any thing!
It’s not crippled, though booted and looted …
Don’t believe that the earth doesn’t sing,
That it’s quieted down, diluted!
No, it’s singing as loud as it can
From a trench, from a wound, from a hole!
Since the earth is the soul of Man,
Boots cannot trample down the soul!

I will lie back in the coolness of the grass.
Different colors of green will appear in shadows.
The smell will be that of a gentle rain storm, with the hint of the redness of a flower. Different shades of lovely with make their way down the small hill, they will spray colors over the entire earth.
The sky will show the glorious color of white, dazzling the eye.
The sun will show the color yellow, as the rays cast orange streams of light.
The gentle breeze will cradle the Earth, and bring the feeling of life. The sweetness of life and love.
The mellow Earth calm and cool. I will lie deep in the Grass, and be still, and listen to the song of earth. The call of a new beginning.
The sweet song of life.
It will whisper its melody in my ear, and breath its calmness. Time is safe here, It stands still.
Untouched.
The earth is at peace here. The quietness, offers, healing somehow
The lord speaks here, His voice quiet and still.
"Nebulas are my factories, part of my industry of birthing more galaxies into the sky, more planets of interest are there, on that you can rely.
When those who reside on Earth sing do they not have a song or a have a line in a song that reads 'when heaven and nature sing?'
In fact evolution and creation were meant to be a harmonious dance where one does not cancel out the other.
Silly to take sides, but take sides if you must because you still can have beliefs, but please don't choose to become a hater of each other, of God and act like I don't exist.
Don't take my Christ out of Christmas not ever, because even the pagan symbolism has basis in Christian fact.
Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, a native son from Turkey was indeed a fact, a living soul.
My timing and man's understanding of the timing in days, in years as I had meant,
have but only come to the forefront of man's understanding.
When I create and what I create are things which last forever.
It is when man tried to take control of things, granted not without prompting from something else altogether that time and death had begun.
My Christ is the one who corrected that by having Earth receive its King by His shed blood on Calvary."
i need you,
like i need air to breathe,
like i need an earth to walk on,
like i need contentment.
i need you,
like a flower needs the sun,
like the trees need the water,
like the seeds need contentment.
i need you,
like a bird needs wind beneath its wings,
like a tick needs blood for sustainance,
like a puppy needs contentment.
i need you,
like the earth needs the atmosphere,
like the shore needs a tide,
like the sky needs contentment.
i need you,
more than a plumber needs a wrench,
more than a train needs coal,
more than a body needs a heart,
more than sick people need visitors,
more than a candle needs a flame,
more than the world needs contentment.
i need you,
because you are my contentment.
Revolves and rotates in the constant motion of it
The occurrence of day and night through it
For the earth shows the sun’s sight
And shows the moon’s at night
And carries a variety of things
The animals and the human beings
The most exclusive minerals
For the earth turns them to plurals
For the miracle that earth brings
As it also changes the state of the things
Well, the earth consists of a number of things indeed
And to use these things, an effort is all you need
For everything there is a reason
The purpose of the creation
Even a smallest thing could never be made by itself
Then the earth also could never be made by itself
Because of the things that earth posses
It is obviously not a self-process
Rightly so, there is a power behind everything else
And this power is the Almighty and nothing else
I feel the touch of sorrow
as I walk along the shore;
while I watch the seagulls lifting in the air,
and flying toward the crimson sky very low!
Between earth and sky
I never feel lonely;
I hear the palm leaves
rustling in the breeze,
the creamy,puffy clouds drift away...
the pale sun lowers slowly!
Between earth and sky
I never feel lonely;
somewhere there must be someone
to reach and lead me on...
if anyone can fill such an emptiness,
I'll be grateful in return!
I feel the touch of sorrow
while the watch keeps on ticking
the minutes away so fast;
I feel the touch of sorrow
as I watch amazed
the luminous sunset!
