Planet Earth (Poem)

Planet Earth, my home, my place

A capricious anomaly in the sea of space

Planet Earth, are you just floating by, a cloud of dust?

A minor globe about to bust

A piece of metal, bound to rust

A speck of matter in a mindless void

A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

Cold as a rock without a hue

Held together with a bit of glue

Something tells me this isn't true

You are my sweetheart, soft and blue

Do you care, have you a part?

In the deepest emotions of my own heart

Tender with breezes, caressing and whole

Alive with music, haunting my soul

In my veins, I've felt the mystery

Of corridors of time, books of history

Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood

Have danced to the rhythm of the tide and flood

Your misty clouds, your electric storm

Were turbulent tempests in my own form

I've licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet

Of every encounter, of passion, of heat

Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste

Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste

In your beauty, I've known the how of timeless bliss, this moment of now

Planet Earth, are you just floating by, a cloud of dust?

A minor globe about to bust

A piece of metal, bound to rust

A speck of matter in a mindless void

A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

Cold as a rock without a hue

Held together with a bit of glue

Something tell me this isn't true

You are my sweetheart, gentle and blue

Do you care, have you a part?

In the deepest emotions of my own heart

Tender with breezes, caressing and whole

Alive with music haunting my soul

Planet earth, gentle and blue

With all my heart, I love you
