Mother Earth
When you listen
Can you hear Pluto sing?
Or Venus speak sweet poetry - proclaim her love
in a meteor shower soliloquy.
Mother Earth
When you reach-out,
Seek out the brightest stars,
Do you hear their refrain - joyous melody,
calling, distant, descant harmony?
Mother Earth
When you look
Can you see heaven in the dark?
Do all the stars align to illuminate a path,
a holy light assembly.
Mother Earth
Are you lonely?
Some times I think you must be.
Suspended in space - one small planet
in a much bigger galaxy.
