"geophysics" poems
The Earth in her glory is heartbreaking
Her beauty, so pure and tarnished
Storing life in her limbs
We hurt her, heal her, try to tame her
She is wild yet peaceful
Her actions unknown, predictable
Mother Earth
Her plates shift and bend us to her will
Her biding is never and forever our command
She is ours eternally
But can never be captured for a single moment

Falling more and more
Into the depths
Of my inner-world
Where depression reigns,
Where there is no relief,
Where the darkness
Is all consuming,
Where my heart turns to stone,
Where it aches and bleeds,
Where l am a prisoner,
Where I am nothing.
Any substance, only faked
Intuituve intelligence
Ha! Whoever heard of such a thing?
I must have made that up
To cover for my glaring inadequacies.
I fooled them though...
Even had a Geophysics professor
Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana
Talking to me.
He thought I was refreshing.
Wow, what a treat.
Wow, me refreshing?
What a joke.
I am anything but resfreshing...
I am a joke...
