This earth a spinnin’
With her two poles intact
Not too long after dawn
Dusk has begun its craft

This earth a changin’
Happening all too fast
This moment you sit
And the very next ‘sat’

This earth a talkin’
Can you hear her plea
Choking in poisonous air
Begging to be left free

This earth a kickin’
Like a child in her prime
Genes, splitting, combining
Evolving all the time

This earth a travellin’
With wanderlust in her eyes
Stars, galaxies her siblings
In this journey through the skies

This earth a hummin’
With the everlasting tune of love
Ushering the beautiful seasons
With music from her trove
