Make Love To This World Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

I sail across oceans
wide, wide blue seas
climb highest mountains in my flight
travel over hills and dales
and valleys beyond the reach of moccasins
each journey is sometimes laden
with tormented moments
the glass is broken, shattered
those who throw stones
also live in glass houses
in every flight distance is without meaning
as I come closer and closer to you
I seek you like I seek myself
in this humble abode of my mind
and all I ask for in earnest
from the bosom of your heart
cuddle my soul with warmth
your womb my cocoon of joy
let me come forth
and make love to this world
the earth is my heaven
my heaven is in this earth.
