I, Of This Earth Poem by Susan Lacovara

I, of this Earth
This blend of bloom
And between the leaves of learning
Gladly gravitate to the yellow YES
Of serene sunlight
When and here the blues
Are washed free
From the other blues
The stretch of sky
The spray of sea
Delphinium dancing
Near the deep of pansies pleasure
I, of this Earth
Washed by not only rain
But wisdom watchful
to be entrusted to save the planet
For the people and from the people's ignorance
Blessed by bees who spread the seeds
Of spending another season to savor
In the gentle sway of a Weeping Cherry
Extending her branches to the bustle of birds
Greens are apparent, alive and affectionately mine
The blanketing grasses beneath my feet
Keep me grounded in spirit and soul
I, of this Earth
Value the fragrant intake of free air
Refreshing and refurbishing
Seeping into my cells
Gifting me the enormity of understanding
We are only loaned this land, these seas
This soil and the sky
What we choose to do with them
Must be real and right
As human conter parts to all the universe houses
I, of this Earth
At Home
