Life comes from the sun.
Its life giving rays bathe
The earth and everything
From tadpoles to mighty
Trees hundreds of feet
Tall. Civilizations in the
Past used to worship
The sun.

New Life
Life is a precious thing.
It is a powerful force
That shows up in all
Creatures and objects
On earth. A tiny sprout,
Pushing up through
The concrete says it
All.
Gravity
If the earth stopped rotating,
There would be no more gravity.
Every thing and every body
Would start floating around
End over end. Panic would
Break out. Those lucky enough
To float near a tree would
Grab a branch and hold on
For dear life.
Closer to Heaven
Heaven can be on earth when
The strong helps the weak, a
Favor is done for someone
Without expecting payment.
The more good that is done
Around the world, the closer
Heaven surrounds us.
The Man in the Moon
One night the earth and moon
Were having a talk. The earth
Asked the moon why he looked
So surprised. The moon replied,
If you saw what I saw you would
Be surprised too!
Census
The trees split their sides
With laughter. They snicker
Because you didn’t get up
On time. Now get out there
And hoe the garden. And
Take a census of the fattest
Earthworms.
Earth from Above
If you could sit on a cloud,
You could see the boundary
Lines between countries.
But the people would be
Too small to see–not so
With Jesus.
Immortal
How many people remember
The beginning of a dream,
Ancient as dawn, a dream of
Destiny, conjuring up the
Flesh, the earth, the dream
We were once one soul?
Nightmare
I had a frightening nightmare
Last night that a black helicopter
Hovered over my house and men
In black rappelled down to the
Ground and disappeared.
Promise
I told you I would promise
You anything I could. So I
Decided to pluck the earth
Out of the sky to give to
You, plus a few extra stars
Because I love you.
