Shunned
The Sun slowly fades /
as the Earth tilts toward the stars. /
A lover’s kiss shunned.

Adorn
Death bends the flower, /
its brown shroud draped where life bloomed. /
Earth adorns its grave.

Bowl of clouds
The bowl of the sky, /
Nourishing heaven and earth, /
Overflows with clouds.

The stream of color /
the leaves of sound /
the grounding of light /
into the Earth we are bound.

Yearning
Earth’s Moon hanging high /
bright light in the cold night sky /
we, in yearning, try.

We can no longer exploit the resources of this earth—the trees, the water, and other natural resources—without any care for coming generations. Common sense tells us that unless we change, we won’t survive. This Earth Day let’s resolve to live in harmony with nature.
