The World is Through My Eyes

Submitted by apark on November 13, 2008 - 11:20.

I see the earth through my soul
From every angle, it seems more beautiful.
The earth sparkles to me
And I to it.
And the creatures on it
I share the sky with my brothers,
My sisters.
We shine together as one - to make one proud
To impress my brother Earth
It can get lonely, or sad, when no one comes by
Once a meteor cousin comes
Or a friend from a different galaxy.
But then they came.
The two legged creatures.
My brother's best friends.
The kind people
Not tortuous like the asteroids.
But the humans chose me
The thrill of fitting in suceeded.
I saw these humans once
I saw them twice.
And in my lava center
I felt warmer than before.
And I had see the world, my brother
With all the glory
Through my soul
I saw the brilliant shining earth
All its beauty
Our Earth
And I'm the moon.
