All the Hemispheres
Leave the familiar for a while.
Let your senses and bodies stretch out
Like a welcomed season
Onto the meadow and shores and hills.
Open up to the Roof.
Make a new watermark on your excitement
And love.
Like a blooming night flower,
Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness
And giving
Upon our intimate assembly.
Change rooms in your mind for a day.
All the hemispheres in existence
Lie beside an equator
In your heart.
Greet Yourself
In your thousand other forms
As you mount the hidden tide and travel
Back home.
All the hemispheres in heaven
Are sitting around a fire
Chatting
While stitching themselves together
Into the Great Circle inside of
You.

In Celebration of The Earth
Happy Earthday Blue Planet!
We are so very glad you were born!
You provide a lush and comfy home for us
and beautiful surfaces for us to explore.
You provide the sweetest water for our thirst
and the juiciest food for our sustenance.
You have endless patience with our quibbling
a patient mother, loving never scolding.
You let us poke and pry and pick at you
and through it all you love us even more.
We forgive you your creaks, explosions and eruptions
We know you've got to express your feelings too...
We are so very blessed to have been born here
on such a beautiful, patient and loving planet.
We Love You!
