In the whole wide universe
You alone blue earth,
Where cells divide
Into fashion models on the cat-walk
And songs of love enthrall
Across the static
Of the Milky Way above.
Little wonder
Where waters fall,
Such as flowers unfold,
The plaintive cuckoo’s call
And lovers in embrace
Alone in infinite space.
Where instinct transcends
The play of physical laws,
Greater than a sun is born,
The bliss
Of an embryonic form.
Hen her chickens urging on
Make history in the galaxy,
Calf and cow, suckling sow,
My tugging heart
As I think of my distant son;
Nothing in orbits in comparison.
From out of the stellar vastnesses there,
I wish just one cover
Of earth’s blue mantle best
And snug in the oceans and the air,
Be confined inside
One drop of wonder
Where I belong,
Against the splendour of the rest.
Beautifully expressed. Love it ! 🙂
