Prayer for the Earth

In fields of WHEAT, tiny
Birds flutter and PERCH
Wondrous beings fill
Every NICHE, from soil to sky
Love to our home, sacred
Space, deserving of our best
Love our home and
Love each other

Georg’ann

GREAT blue heron stands
in POISE. Large body held up
by thin legs that rise
out of dark water steeped
with brown and gold leaves
blown into this quiet NICHE.
Bright green moss on the shore.
Three contrasting crescents.
Wide lake glistens in the distance.
