The earth without the light
is unseen not because it's dark.
Every morning shines on it
a new picture-perfect sunrise!
It's the sun's upside down heaven black canvas
the arch painter can paint on it from afar
off the sky until it takes a nap in shadowy twilight.
The earth by the sea isn't a beauty only skin deep
beneath its barely scratched surface billow seven seas.
Over the abyss down this way nothing is dark
with all the stars wake is half-lit clement moonlight.
The waxing moon again will be full looking on the sea-mirror
but won’t drop in the deepwater can’t touch the bottom line.
****** earth a veiled beauty packs the power flow in the heart
so fluid in its midst the river, the sea, the ocean all run melodious!
