You can’t leave the earth,
there are many jobs to do —
work with the seasons

Haiku: Warm Heart
Precursors of spring;
purity from mother’s heart.
A neighbour’s warm smile.

Verse of the Day
“For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;”
Job 28, verse 24
Today I opened the bible randomly and pointed at this verse.
What does this verse suggest about the nature of our universe? These words and many others like this, were once truly believed.
Considering the state of our ‘civilisation’, is our supposed enlightenment benefitting us?

The Walk (for Earthweal challenge)
I must have strolled this ancient shore,
leaving no footprints in the sand,
seen the infant sun spill his light
over jagged horizons,
the glowing Moon ascend into sparse sky
to ride the assembly of stars,
a firmament at once remote
and intimate.
If you talk in eons — I see in seconds;
new life’s struggle to be born,
a fossil falling to the sand
from a cliff’s crumbling edifice.
For as I exist at the beginning
so do I persist until the end,
though I am not made of stars,
I merely follow the word
and the breath.
