"When air and land go hand in hand"


Poem Artwork

Soil and Sky

Small planet of a fading star
I know how it feels to be small
To feel like a fading star too
Or planet smaller than you are

You two and I know after all
That "might makes right" was never true
That greed is rotten at its root
And that the proud someday must fall

My world! My day! This right-sized earth
And sun which bring the field to fruit
Are synthesis of death and birth

I hear the singing duststorm call
When air and land go hand in hand
And wonder sadly vainly why
Men cannot live like soil and sky

You remind me that, if man does not make changes, this gem of a planet (though scarred by man's actions) may soon be like Mars. Thank you for the poignant reminder, Stevie. Blessings to you,

Regis

And sun which bring the field to fruit

Words with wavelengths that coincide with those of human hearts and souls. You truly have the gift.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
