I am Earth (Poetry Thursday- Early Edition)
I am brilliant blue
While shining in the sun
A beautiful diamond
In the sky
I am earth
I am the only home
In this vast universe
For billion species
Including the humans
I am earth
Some call me Gaia
The living planet
Some simple star dust
Just part of the big universe
I am earth
I have seen
Many species evolve and extinct
It’s the journey of life
There is a beginning and then an end
I am earth
I remember correctly the date
Humans came pretty late
Earlier dinosaurs used to dominate
But they met their fate
I am earth
Mars and Venus are my neighbors
I live between them
Once there was life on Mars
But no more
I am earth
Now I suffer from heat
As perhaps once Mars did
I am losing my species fast
Death seems to embrace me at last
I am earth
I wish humans could soon learn
They are just one out of billions
Masters they are not
But just another part
I am earth

Gaia's mantra. I love it. The repetition of "I am Earth" makes it seem so solid and impervious to whatever comes up against it.
