earth day ..


funny..
i awoke this morn with the poem..
please come home on my lips..
thought i would print it out for
the 9:30 yoga class..
earth day and all..

i opened the blog &
searched my stash of poems..
and there..
earth day..2015..
please come home..
cheque it out!

the shoreline is pinking her way with the ice plant
that holds the earth snug together at the seaboard -
baby harbor seals are snestling up to their rotund mama-sans..
the wee birds are peeking and pecking their way
to the seed pods that are bursting..
crows are holding court as usual..
pelicans are off and away..
have not seen them for weeks..
surfer dudes and chick-a-dees are striding
on the waves with the prowess and grace of water goddesses..
white sails prick the dark sea and take one's breath out from under..
squirrels stand on hind legs .. mountain pose..
sniffing for food..listening to the om of our planet..
pigeons rule the roost roof tops..
dove song sings -

please come home. please come home.
thank you, earth,  for welcoming us. 

the wesak moon hung full in last night's sky..
pink, planter, egg, growing, seed, awakening -
a few names of april/ taurus moon
earth day moon..

now this very daybreak..
the pink of sunup..
running like egg yolks
thru the scattered stratum of dawn

may our footprints leave no ache
on terra firma..

please come home. please come home.
find a the place where your feet know where to walk
and follow your own trail home.
