    We Have Earth

    2023

    Who needs heaven when we have skies
    That blush and bruise in pinks and blues
    That puff and swish to eagles’ cries
    Who needs heaven when we have eyes

    Who needs wishing when we have trees
    That stretch and sway in green and grey
    That creak and kiss like living seas
    Who needs wishing when we have bees

    Who needs dreaming when we have earth
    That seeds and blooms in fragrant tunes
    That conjures life from dark and dearth
    Who needs dreaming when we have rebirth
