Small Lonely Planet

Small Lonely Planet

Little poems on wings of ethereal birds
glide across vast oceans of alien tongues
and translate our thoughts into one world song,
dreaming our small lonely planet awake.

Ten billion people alone in their homes,
who carve runes on jewels in flowing stream,
talk to each other across beams of light,
dreaming our small lonely planet awake.

One open eye floating in sea of light,
first mother egg who gave birth to all life,
fragments in every plant and animal
who dream our small lonely planet awake.

She sees herself when she looks in our eyes
and teaches us all to sing spell of love
so we merge and diverge in countless lives
who dream our small lonely planet awake.

Our sun forges all elements from sparks
that spiral into coils of carbon rings
which replicate souls who wake in clear light
to dream our small lonely planet awake.

I stand alone under tree full of fruit
breathing wind, soaking sunlight, drinking rain,
and shimmer with web of organic life
to dream our small lonely planet awake.
