Coming Down to Earth Grounded
I see a clearing
It's big enough to land in
The grass is short
No rocks or bumps
It's all clear for landing
My heart beats in panic
Tears of sweat run down my face
Fear grips my body
In expectant embrace
The engine splutters and coughs
Bangs erupt from broken wings
I hear my own screams
The smoke is acrid in flared nostrils
My flesh burning, stinks
Ah!

Down To Earth Dude
Just a down to earth dude, nothing special
Live a simple uncomplicated existence
It's how it's been for eighty-eight years
Changing now would be inconsistent
We are who we are after many long years
Of living, observing, and choosing
The path that seems like the right one to us
Is the one that's the least confusing
Some are comfortable with strife in their

Ode to the Selfless Woman
Alluring kindness in a gentle, caring gaze,
Altruistic spirit, a beacon in a maze.
Anchor in the storm, a whisper, soft and strong,
As she walks among us, righting every wrong.
Anchored by humility, a beacon ever bright,
Brave spirit, championing justice with gentle might.
Considerate whispers mend a heart that's torn and frayed,
Down-to-earth laughter chases shadows, unafraid.
Empathy's embrace, a refuge

Be Down To Earth
When time makes you fall on earth,
Don't shriek.
When fortune takes you to peak,
Be down to earth.

Be Down To Earth They Told Him
Be down to earth, they told him, more real, more true.
Meaning more like them, the status quo, the easily disturbed mob.
But he could not be, for he had a loving heart, and did not understand
Their fascination with guns, bullets, or the thrill of the kill.
He was a rabbit, a deer, a creature of the wild

Down To Earth
My legacy as a person is I want people to say I was real down to earth.
A rare breed, a true one of a kind.
I want to be the exception to humanity
The opposite of ego and vanity
I want to be that person who you feel at ease with.
I want my character traits to resemble

For Christ Came Down To Earth For Me
Remember what the prophets said,
Messiah would raise up the dead.
There 's life beyond what we can see,
For Christ came down to earth for me.
What faith, indeed, did Mary show,
Through every high and every low.
The Son of God upon a tree,
For Christ came down to earth for me.

Being,-Getting Down To Earth
Earth is a prop, a stage,
a place to grow-(your craft)?
nourishing, protecting, acting
like a sentient being.
It's shows-Showing in poetic artistry,
that giving a little soul to a speck of dust is a projective, directive of starshine's collective.
To be as a rock- of the divine.
A wholesome, natural, ground, devoted Tabernacle or home-dwelling, grounded
to the notion that circum-navigation

Small Worth Humanity Calls Sinful Angels Falls Down To Earth--
All people brave and small;
Before the life of their worth;
Crashes life's burdens calls;
Duty bound humanity bursts;
Every angel that sins have plucked wings they fall;
Foreverness spent eternity on earth as demons then land in hell's halls;

Fallen Lucifer Sent Down To Earth-

Lucifer fell he
was kick out of heaven thrown

Down To Earth Type Elf
When you get right down to it
That's exactly where I'll be
A truly down to earth kinda elf
Pretence is not for me
Others try to show a bravado
They think it's what ladies like
It's very true some of 'em do
But more ladies like the tender type
When a man cries, the girlies swoon
Cuddle you to make you better

Down To Earth
The mountains, the plains, the seas
where man been, barely there’s ease,
One that time can never mar
he is wallowing in war;
There is nature to nurture
in this God’s glorious earth
and look with hope to future
whence we had been since our birth.
