love song to earth

I love the way you look
when I see pictures
of you in space

you are so beautiful
and I feel such love for you
I can't explain this love
but it is very strong

I want to wrap my arms
around you
and hold you tight
I want you to feel
the bounty of my love

If I could, I would keep you
in my thoughts night and day
so that no part of you
wouldn't know this
profound feeling of kinship

As I sleep tonight I know
you will be there
in the morning
you have such love
for all the creatures who
inhabit you

some might think this love song
strange
but others would find it
comforting to know
that what they feel

is shared. . .
