The sun took her leisure.
It was, after all, the longest day.
She could, till the next time,
Meander
Just a little bit
Across the sky.
Peering down at the blue marble
She raised a ray to salute
The tiny orbit.
Odd,
That one,
In how it keeps questioning
Why.

On this Earth Day
As we are all
One,
Cooped in
Holding on,
Blue around the fingertips
Blue around the lips,
Blue in oceans, and
In the reflections of the deep,
Blue in sorrow
Blue as sky lift
Dark sapphire
To the reified aqua
Of hope.
May we rise
Like the sun,
And not forget how
We can
Help each other
Cope.

The sun will warm
Again
Or far
Too hot.
The water that sustains
Will flood
Again
Or not.
The tenet that prevails
Remains:
This magic of a planet
To protect
We ought,
Or an ultimatum
Spurred by greed
With life as
Afterthought,
Will render what we
Know
And what we for our
Children hoped,
Into a disaster
We had let be
Bought.

Serpentine line
Undulates across planes
Amidst the snowed patches of
Rugged terrain.
Spread below
To horizon
Of blue onto blue
This one planet
We share
All of us –
Me and you.

Blessed be the heat
Of fire
Fed by wood
That held on
To the driven strength of home.
Let air
Breathe through
The flames
That will allow warmth
To the water
While the earth
Hammocks your body
And your eyes
Address heaven’s stairs.

Let the power
Of breath
Churn the air
Fill the earth.
Let the wind
Fill your sails
As you learn
To exhale.
Let the future
Flow clear
And may hope
Draw you near.

What grace allowed
Through ocean’s sigh
And earth’s old core
That plumed near by,
Embraces life
In all that die.

There are eons of old
Set in stone
Pressed in rock.
Do you hear them
Or not
Do you know
What you’re told
Can you feel part of all
That had gone
And which may
Or may not
Come along
To live on?

As night gives way to day
And rain to sunshine
In cycles of expected
Understanding,
May we not forget
How our steps and deeds
Feed the beat of storms
Intensifying
Spur the crush of waves
Amplifying
Augment the tremors of fault lines
Magnifying
In
Earth’s crescendo,
Notifying.

Do not soil the soul of soil
With harm
And hatred.
Do not foul the loam of life
By sowing death.
Walk gently on the earth
That holds the lot of us.
All water that flows on
And under
Has flown everywhere
Before
Belongs to no one
More.
Do not soil the soul of soil
With war.
It is unholy.
Antithetical
To growth.
It stains all harvest
Red
With tears
And broken hearts.
Enriches only
Pain
And sorrow’s scars.
True stewardship
Demands
We find
Uphold
Maintain
A common ground.
