Earth

~
Tonight I give up racing sunset to dawn
I give up rising in the light column
I opt to dye my being in 10 feet under dirt
Dirt of no color, the scent of compassion
Void engulfs me like a blanket
I rest there in fetus position
Listening to Earth rhyming its love like a lullaby
Thoughts punctuate the longing in my heart
“Mother, have I done you wrong
Mother, have I done you right”
And Earth replies:
“Hush my baby and sleep: Time for you to dream.”
And I dream out of love for Mother Earth.
