THE EARTH
(C)1995 By Paul L. Glaze
An Indigo Sky, A Starlets Display,
Stretch Out Forever Across The Milky Way.
A Mellow Moon Makes A Memorable Glow.
From Darken Space, To Grace, The Planet Below.
Lighting Lashes Through A Tearful Sky.
The Boom Of Thunder Bids Serenity Good-Bye.
The Storm Will Die With Its Winds Of High.
Towels Of Clouds Allows The Sky To Dry.
A Radiant Rainbow Reflects In Reverence.
Clearing Weather And The Storms Severance
Crystal Blue Water, Vivid And Clean,
Displays The Beauty Of A Virgin Stream,
A Bending Brook Flows Its Winding Way.
Thru Hills It Tills To Where Fishes Play.
Raging Rain Rushes To Parched Soil.
To Balance In Nature, A Summer Suns Boil.
Rampart Rivers Roar To Their Ultimate End.
Adjoining Saltwater In An Eternal Blend.
An Ocean Rejoices At The Rivers Wild.
They Emerge Together As Mother And Child.
A Forest Weeps As Her Children Disappear.
What Beast Could These Gentle Trees Fear ?
Continental Glaciers Drifting Poles Apart,
Create Reverence In The Beholders Heart.
Northern Lights Shimmer In An Eerie Glow,
Dispelling Colors In An Arctic Snow.
In A Barren Land Where No One Goes,
A Blizzard Is Blowing, But No One Knows.
Shadows Glimmer Over A Moonlit Lake.
Soft Silhouettes At The Waters Brake.
Spans Of Starlings Pass Over In Flight.
A Surreal Silence Slips Over The Night.
Trunks Of Willows Embrace The Shore.
Twisting Branches Caress Earth's Floor.
Insects Chirp In A Repetitive Sound,
Crawling Thru Grasses On Dampen Ground.
A Foggy Mist Retreats In Refrain.
Leaving A Bliss That Resembles A Rain.
A Glow Of Morning In The Eastern Sky.
Allows The Night To Softly Die.
The Sun Arrives Luminous And Bright.
Showering The Earth With Life Giving Light.
Soon It Will Descend To Retire In The West.
Sinking Below Earth's Rotund Crest.
Magnificent Mountains, Side By Side.
Their Majestic Peaks Pointing With Pride.
Descending Clouds Go Billowing By,
To Caress The Breast Of Rocks Ahigh.
Eagles Soar In A Magnificent Swarm
Nurturing Their Nests So Eaglets Be Warm.
Voracious Vultures Sky Overhead,
Natures Morticians Awaiting The Dead.
Highlands Sloping Into Earth's Lower Floor.
A Desolate Desert Awaits At Its Door.
Those Who Dare Enter, Trek On Torrid Turf.
Seething Sheets Of Heat On Scorched Earth.
The Desert Descends Into Waters Way
An Ocean Amends With Refreshing Spray
Water Takes Hold In A Rhythmic Swirl
Their Voluminous Waves Encircle The World.
Rushing Waters Crush Against Rocks Of Shore
Then Revolve Again, To Come Forth As Before.
Water Regresses As Land Takes Command.
To Create Islands Gracious And Grand.
Tropical Lands Emerge With Fruit And Spice.
A Parade Of Pageantry In Paradise.
Mother Earth Gives Birth To All That Lives.
She Asks For Nothing, Yet Constantly Gives.
The Creation Of Earth Took Billions Of Years.
It Is Owned By A God Who Has No Peers !
