In the Spin

In the Spin

the spin of this planet is polar in nature
the north and the south holding the axis points
in the north the spin is clockwise in nature
in the south, too, all points turning, seeking the sun

to live on this planet we can be positioned at the equator
it’s a long, long journey to travel to the next day
to those in the arctics the journey is different
and a benefit from the slow way they spin?

now spin in

in the stable arctic short spin cycles
it’s a place conducive to the journey within
equatorial spin is the full planet’s circumference
the centrifugal force at its strongest
as a result of the spin
faster and
faster
spin
like
a
top

all make the journey in 24 hours
all face the east as the sun starts to rise
but what is the effect of the distance so travelled
and what is the sense of being
circular wise?

it is easy to launch from equatorial platforms
it’s easy to visit the far reaching realms
lift off is experienced by the explorer
a freeing of spirit for those
at the helms

A Wonderful World

A Wonderful World
precious is the rainbow arcing o’re the sky
precious are the puffy clouds softly floating by
and oh to see reflections on the stillness of a lake
there’s a swelling of the heart just for beauty’s sake
the scented garden beckons, roses in full bloom
the chirping of the crickets rise with heat of afternoon
the blazing sunrise then sunset colour glows all around
the honking of the geese as Vs flying soon southbound
blessed are the raindrops falling from the sky
lifting up aromas of a parched ground by and by
rustling of the winds amongst the leaves of many trees
grasses softly carpeting the ground with spreading ease
majestic are the mountains rising from afar
the ice and snow’s insistence their time is coming once more
rolling dry expanses softened by pleasant resting shadows
elsewhere there’s a flatness, steepness ending in mystic plateaus
the ever changing spectacle of the moving oceans
multi greys and blues and greens stir our own emotions
the great beauty of this created realm is a constant reminder
we give thanks to a wonderful world
we don’t have to seek to find her
for we are part of our world
wonder filled and full
of gratitude
for all that is

Rally for the Children

Rally for the Children

each generation has dreamt dreams for their children
each has held hope and love in their hearts
now we can care for all the world’s children
let us rally for the children, each doing our parts

for the parts of the world with accumulated abundance
it’s a wonder the Earth doesn’t tilt on her axis
for the first time ever we have access to all on this planet
we are interconnected and observers to all

may we all respond to the cry of a child
may we pick her up and carry her forth
it takes a community to raise our children
it takes connected hearts for humanity to morph

feeling into our passion, let us rally for the children
let us hear their deepest desires untold
let us give them access to the teachings of others
let us free them from where poverty has a hold

we can change this world by caring for others
the future of life we hold in our hands
gather together and reach out to the children
gather them in to our hearts and begin
