Earth Day Poem

HOIST THE SAILS!

Four billion years ago
Our lonely Earth
Set sail on cosmic seas
Guided by an unseen hand
Of nature, God or chance.

As life evolved

Through endles eco-cycles

Man was born, destined

To destroy or enrich

The Precious Ship.

And now his hand

Has seized the tiller

But his ear has not

Yet caught the Captain's

Quiet command.

The sails are down, the ship becalmed,
Its fragil life at stake.
No longer do we ride the gentle swells of
Silent seas and breathe
The fragrant air.


Broken are the rhythms
Of our cyclic plants
And other living things.


But now the Captain speaks again

Our quiet thoughts at last reveal his voice.


"Hoist the sails, Earth Man.
Set them for celestial winds.
Hold the tiler firm,
The course ahead is clear."

Be He nature, God or chance
His voice is heard
And we shall heed the Captain's quiet command.
