My Earth My Home

This night the sky is clear

A cornucopia of brilliant stars

the midnight blue of the sky

a canvas for the beauty of being.

how can sleep be taken

in the the wonderment of your beauty

This earth my home my provider

I love you for your care and bounty

My head is intoxicated by the perfumes

of this perfect night another of your gifts

I want to kneel before you in homage

Telling you of my love and gratitude

how can I ever repay you

for this kindness and bounty

only by returning myself to your care
