#pangaea - Hello Poetry

There once was a man of Pangaea Who had an unlucky idea: He ate a strange shroom And then laid in his tomb, Having died from insane diarrhea.

Aware to the reactivity of volcanic eyes, The scar from the comet appears deep, Transforming an outward growth of conifers— Travelling across Pangaea Through meteoroid heat— Into an era predating now, Continuing on indefinitely.

Pangaea

Aware to the reactivity of volcanic eyes, The scar from the comet appears deep, Transforming an outward growth of conifers— Travelling across Pangaea Through meteoroid heat— Into an era predating now, Continuing on indefinitely.

1. Earth (Pangaea) Pangaea heaved and shifted beneath the fire-storm sky. Colliding plates and spewing mountains shook, roared and thundered under the brutal chaos of torrential cataclysms. In time she yielded her ire to millennia of pacific rains - her severed crust set adrift across the oceans like gigantic earthen rafts. Jungles sprang up and terrible lizards came, grazed and left their bones. Forests, grains and multifarious beasts grew and perished in accord with their past and future destinies. So here we are - earthbound, tossed from our mothers' wombs - fated to live and breed by the grace of miracles far beyond our ken. Beloved mother Gaia, from whose dust we are raised, nurture and sustain us and sing us to our mortal sleep. 2. Air Air - earth's miracle brew of oxygen, nitrogen and all the rest meted out in perfect harmony. Air - silent and still on a moonlit night - driver of sheeted rain on window panes - and winds that shake the trembling aspens. Air - author of land and ocean squalls - bringer of that ominous pallor that presages a tornado's furor Air - invisible aerial highway for majestic eagles and turbo-jets - medium of rhetoric and symphonies. Air – window to the cosmos and our fragile life–giving broth - unwitting conveyer of toxic alchemy. Keep watch my sisters and brothers: the air we breathe is what we make it or rather what we let it be. 3. Water Water like a capricious deity wanders through time and topography - cherished and cursed for what it gives and what it takes away. Gentle rains and strident gales sculpt rivers and streams through forests and plains bound for union with the open sea. Diurnal tides ebb and wane at the whim of the charismatic moon. Ice mountains advance and retreat; rock-strewns moraines left in their wake. Turbulent currents soar over jagged cataracts, spraying pastel prisms across the misted valleys. Beneath our all too fragile skins, secret sanguine rivers navigate our veins and arteries bathing organs, limbs and sensors with curative balm and sustenance. Wellspring of all elements, fill our daily ladles and grant us the will and empathy to bequeath the same to our progeny. 4. Fire Two hundred million years ago our Paleolithic cousins seized branches from a burning forest and stepped into a bold new world. By the glow of fire-lit caves, and the scent of searing venison, they gathered wits and tools to craft shelters and weaponry. Their children's children would design forges and furnaces, factories and build engines that run on fire. But their anxious siblings in despair snatched lightning from the sky and twisted by fits of anger pride made also muskets, missiles, bombs and nuclear Armageddons. Loki, god of nobler flames open our blood-stained eyes and show us the means to stay our arson lust and abide by the light of reason. Revised and integrated version, December, 2015

The Planet Earth was a wasteland of destruction from the race that lived there previously.. Seven Life Lancers were sent from Mars over 1000 years ago to clean and repair Earth's eco system. We lost contact with the Life Lancers 52 years ago but were very hopeful as Earth has once again turned blue in our night sky.. A once dead planet of sand has gained back its majestic color of ocean azure blue alongside the stars.. I am sad that Mars has become dead and we had no solution to solve the destruction of our planet.. I had been chosen by our people to migrate to Earth and start our race there.. I am unknown to how well the Life Lancers fixed the eco system of Earth and if it will be able to sustain life.. Its when I arrive I finally see how Magnificent it was! More blue than the Mars ocean Soren.. There is a massive piece of land I can land on. Seems this is the only land that exist here on Earth.. I will call this land Pangaea..
