Playing Fair and Being Kind

Here is one I can’t ignore any longer. I like it but it needs a brushing up or something.

Peace out,

Spring!

NOW AND FOREVER MORE AMEN

I sit in my big soft chair

Gazing above the false horizon

Set by the trees and shrubs growing

Outside my window.

I pick a spot on the blue

Of the sky and I lose

Myself in the beauty

And peace of it all.

A breeze moves the leaves

And gently sways the

Branches in my field of

Vision.

The sun heats the earth’s

Atmosphere on one side

Only because that is

How it works.

That side gets hot and moves

Toward the cold side using

Air currents and this

Makes the wind.

Understandably the wind

Blows at night

As well, well… because the

Earth is round.

Not too hard to figure out

If you just think about

It and you don’t

Hold back.

Oh by the way

There is no sky to

Look at because

It is just space.

The light from the sun

Loses parts of its

Spectrum as it passes

Through the stuff surrounding Earth.

What is left to see

Is the blue that we

Lovingly refer to as

Sky.

So sky is also in our

Lungs, mouth, nose

Between our legs

And ears.

Smokers blow sky out mixed

With smoke and other

Contaminants that

Poison all of us.

Someday the sky will be empty

Of all the objects humans

Have discovered

So far.

Our sun is getting older and

Colder and will eventually

Grow huge enough to eat

All its planets.

Then the sun will go away

Someplace cold and nearly

Empty of stuff you can

See.

I hope you are not surprised

To find this out

Since it has been

Happening forever.

Don’t be surprised to

Find out this is

Happening right now

Universally.

I sit in this big chair

Watching all that I

Know disappearing and

I join in.
