#earth poems on Hello Poetry

Douglas Balmain Dec 2020

I sunk my fingers down
into the loam of an ancient
buffalo wallow and the
land that had quietly
prepared for their species
untold millennia before me.

I held the buffalo’s
mourning in my heart,
and felt the Buffalo Nations’
cry rattle against my ribs.

I opened myself to the
Earth and it spoke
sorrowfully to me
of its broken home.

Laid To Rest

Waste away
Our bodies decay
To the earth we flee
And are thus inlaid
Wrapped in roots
The soil so sweet
Damp and cool
From crowns to our feet
A rest for eternity
Yet not for all time
To awaken once more
When the Earth is sublime
Until then we sleep
And in sleep we do dream
For the sleep of death
Is not all it may seem

Less is More

Sky is vast
besides
painted in
blue opulence.
But the eyes
are on
the small earth!

Sky, Earth and Equinox

They Told Me This is Total Answer

To The All The Questions

And I Said:

TOTAL is The First Five
Word in Totalitarian

Nail Your Sins

With Thor's Hammer

Hang The wise man upside down

Watch every Century of her walk

Cinderella Of The Wastelands

Take My Hand

Together
Together

We Gonna Take The Future
We Gonna Take The Future

Your RACE

Your ***

Let's FACE it

It's Just A Waste Of My Time
It's  Just A Waste Of My Time
It's Just A Waste Of Our Time

Take My Hand

Together
Together

We Gonna Take The Future
We Gonna Take The Future

Your RACE

Your ***

Let's FACE it

It's Just A Waste Of My Time
It's  Just A Waste Of My Time
It's Just A Waste Of Our Time

Your RACE

Your ***

Let's FACE it

It's Just A Waste Of My Time
It's  Just A Waste Of My Time
It's Just A Waste Of Our Time

Spirit of life

Across the distant lands I watch
Blow gentle winds to make the trees dance
Sprinkle it with water and see the grass grow
Mould cotton and place them in the sky
Warm you with a golden globe

Release the choir of birds to warm your souls
Fill the fields with golden straw
I make the rivers grow
The seas swell

I am old as time itself
Looking down on the earth I grew
Smiling on a few
The spirit of nature
is the name I take

the shame of the earth

it is covered by fall leaves
and washed by the rain
hit in the hard rocks by
the ocean waves

the earth sinned yesterday

with the rain

Earth

If the earth has no boundaries
No start no finish
The land always giving birth
The sky full of floating clouds
The seas reaching far off destinations
Birds singing like a joyful chorus

Why are there boundaries
When the earth is free
All are equal
None are better
We breathe, we live ,we die

It's a never ending circle
This life

Identity

Is it not through the
Buffalo that we know
of ourselves?

Or do you look
to your uniform
to tell you who
you are?
