Shimmering Globe
Are we both vulnerable and strong
however contradictory this sounds?
Fragile in a world of dissonance
Yet strong in our love of planet Earth.
Its extraordinary patience and beauty
in spite of human’s foibles and selfish ways.
Are we destructive, yet also dreamers?
Did we lose our way; our purity
in hunt of falsely glittering symbols?
Did we forget the joy of a touch, a smile;
The comfort of a shared laugh.
Don’t think we are masters of this
shimmering globe;
Our home among the stars.
We are but a blessed part.
Let us live the dream of harmony,
Harmony between oceans, land and mankind.
