Do you know how beautiful she is?
– with her peachy complexion,
and her big blue skies –
not just her hills and valleys…
But her true character,
Love.
She can’t help herself.
She loves people.
She loves plants, animals, trees,
the ocean, rivers, creeks,
and all the forests and deserts
of the Earth…
Even when disaster and failure
pile up around her,
she sends Love…
Sometimes she sends it
with Anger or Defiance!
Sometimes it just oozes out of her
intoxicating those she touches.
Do you know how beautiful she is?
She sings and dances
as she touches a plant or flower.
She speaks to the roses,
and to the ants and spiders.
And then she is like Kali,
“You know the rules,
Spidery Antos,”
She sings in forte tremolo,
“As long as you stay outside,
I won’t kill you!”
She smiles as her eyes narrow
and her palor turns grayish.
Do you know how beautiful she is?
And then she is love again,
blowing gentle winds
on calm warm yellow days…
Soon there may be a rumble
a thunderstorm,
or a HUGE Red Fire!
But for now she is loving all of you,
for now she is loving Life…
Do you know how beautiful she is?
