EARTH SONG
Posted By mindsinger on April 10, 2010
The tiny planet shuddered;
drew clouds around her like a garment.
“Name me!” she sighed,
“for I am lonely!”
Lost among the starshine
of a billion suns revolving;
She huddled in her orbit
and waited for the day.
Slowly dawned the presence
of a mighty force around her;
and she felt the power singing
as he swept the night away.
Confusion turned to order
as he clothed her in a mantle
made of misty mountain meadows
and sparkling coral sands.
He placed upon her shoulders
tall woodlands filled with flowers,
and for her skirts deep waters
hemmed with foaming strands of pearl.
Then closer came the presence;
knelt in holiness upon her,
and from her soil brought forth the sons
to tend her holy garden.
Earth was what he named her;
jewel of the heavens;
fragile integration of the majesty’
of life.
