Back Home Again
Beds are Burning
Calling planet Earth
Do you hear me
Earthling from my birth
Solid rearing
+++
Playing in the dirt
Forming shapes with the mud
I love the feel of earth
In my soul, in my blood
+++
Planet Earth is blue
I love standing near the shore
I've got a clue
Peace comes from the Earth's core
+++
Planet Earth is rotating
Moving and turning
Keeping balance gyrating
Back home again but our earth is burning

Songs from which I borrowed a lyric or two…
The line "I've Got a Clue" is from a song I wrote when I was the lead singer for the rock band Thunder Lizards.

This poem is in response to Mariann Carroll and Stephen Avitable who both tagged me and both chose the Earth community for me.
This is part of Oneg’s and James’ Summer Writing Challenge.
