Earth Day 2010
by aarp
Rated: 18+ | Poetry | Spiritual | #1649585
So simple yet so profound.
Earthquakes, Ice Ages, volcanoes
tsunamis, comets and meteorites
means our welcome has worn out,
it’s time to go.

Living green is worthwhile, extending life
for one and all.  Yet don’t be fooled
Mother Earth will have enough,
it’s time to go.

She brought us into this World
to do what we will
she’ll take us out when
it’s time to go.

“How we live our days
is how we live our lives,”
said Annie Dillard
so simple yet so profound.

It explains our being on Mother Earth.
Cherish time so, precious is it.
cause one day present or future she’ll say,
“It’s time to go.”

No second chances, no coulda,
shoulda or woulda.  No tears
one time, one life is what we had,
it’s time to go.
