Ode To The Earth

poetry in progress the way you spin a game of success on the theory of ying yang, ever since you took hold of the sky in your winning azure blue and rich potato brown you have sprung so many surprises on us as you twirl, you amaze and unwittingly win unrestrained applause you hold onto the day and night so dutifully and evenly to unveil to us the presents and blessings of time the greenery has sat up straight to acquiece to your discipline and some stood up in glee for a thousand years to join you pouring out gratitude in a maze of shapes and shades multi hued flowers, freewheeling leaves advertising their many pointed shapes in the wind and nuts so crunchy, fruits so sweet, pulpy and healthy to the brim so many have taken after their cue - the butterflies carry sweet nectare and a cryptic paradise to your circle game the birds serenade bright and cheerful notes in a cosmic rhythm and tune to the soft streaming strokes of your blazing luminuous conductor cheering up the day you energise, even night refuses to bow out as it juggles for actions with the day it gently hangs out a lantern for all to witnesss the soft shadows and gentler quietness of nights a privacy made for lovers the owls compete with the moon with their large glowing eyes each carrying its own moon as they absorb lunar energy to check out on the little furry stealthy nocturnal creatures the stars send well wishes all the way to all the two legged, four legged, six legged, and eight legged who blast away their sweet love odes in all the nooks and corners - on the mountain tops, in the amazon rainforests, over the oceans, in the rivers, under a leaf, a fallen wood and a million of hollow eyes that have drilled their way into a driftwood in a rose, an orchid, a carnation everywhere you find creatures cavorting holding onto shadows of night to prove darkness will never douse out the flame of love but afford a sanctum for all to merge and fertilise the day that gives way to night and night that gives way to day in - an everlasting AN AUTUMN LOVE ------- we wish love would linger like the colours of autumn a mood so absorbing like the eons we could spend ln each other's eyes time comes in circles and the leaves play them out so well so green once and now so red to accent their triumph in keeping the host so cheerful and alive a new dress for every season the wind comes as a friend, to make sure the sendoff is grand and full of dance and songs they clap and slap each other's back to cheer each others up they sigh, they cry their last separation song before diving into the circles of time circle game of creation
