earth – June Kaplan

i adore the Earth
Byjucasso
i adore the Earth my home
a place to call my own
the river bend and moan
the ocean white with foam
i hear a bird at dawn
she sing a lovely song
i see the sea is blue
the horizon and Heavens too
i see a sea of sky
that fill her gray blue eyes
in hope there is a prayer
for God to always be there
will you see me someday
where we may work and play
i pray for you to be okay
my heart is full and gay
i long to see you smile
across the cloudy miles
i fear it’s but a dream
to have a world for my girl and me
don’t worry baby blue
for i remember you
my messenger my guide
my starry night your moon won’t cry.
amen.
wind
Byjucasso
whisper rushing water
birds glide air currents
the bluff barks rough
long grasses golden hay flattened
marsh in the harsh of winter
a heart in the middle of the day
wispy thickets lisping
blown biting bully muddy earth
sandy soil loosens stones running
shocks the rocks bolder
under sensitive sky
massive clouds hung low
in the dirt felt the debt to hold
winds fickle forces come and go
with the strength of a mind spring
rain crushing the pines
bent torn
sending storms
foliage overgrown thrash thrown
winds groan
nature’s warning growl
a departure
sun fires bright
till then darkest night
when the moon ascends to prowl.
renew
Byjucasso
concrete thoughts egregious
body of water in agreement
cascade sparkling sun drench
spit splashes lashing out
wave them in
beaches bearing creatures in the foam
dilapidated beach house groan
windy wooden slatted home
weathered white paint chip crack craze
extend from the surface raised
like seagull wings
stretched away walls dingy gray
eroded brass hardware greenish black
abandoned to the sea salt air never coming back
muse the muse of love the rite of Spring
Venus in the world would bring
love to everyone and every living thing
with heart to light ones darkest night to sing
bells will chime like heartbeats to the rhyme
acts of kindness let sorrow be
in a world that seems the test of time
love is ever soft serene
appreciate the stars the sea
the earth renew our destiny.
to the sky I spy the amber sun
Byjucasso
to the sky I spy the amber sun
in winter harsh and glum
wandering blue as ample ramble
clouds are barely one
grateful for forest green
splendid spruce pine for me
froze the earth and all she glean
troubled in her worth esteem
be well the time abate
no seconds on the plate
to think it all too late
remorse is great
the music curve
arch angels sing
to know the very truth of life
to have you in my sphere
translucent waters cleanse their care
to guide the rivers collide regale
out of my element there
in a state of kind regard reflect eclectic stars
hurl gold moon into ultramarine sea
pink sky resign turn darkest wine
follow hallowed tomorrow with tumultuous slumber
colder than a sorrow in summer.
a peaceful wish
Byjucasso
a peaceful wish
amend the sorrowful heart
may your birth
be a source of wonder
find love in everything kind
as thoughts catch in tears
the moon light the night
to hug the earth
in beauty of your life
forgiveness sends the world
to revolve around the cycle
to bless the tame and the wild
in miles and miles of valleys mountains
breeze blowing trees grassy pastures
long rocky winding rivers frozen pacified
white Ice solid marbled
tree limbs caught in fog steaming cold content
highway running dart through black hills silhouette
the wind shifts over the wet countryside upset
forget regret the worldly cause refuse
return relent renew
know love as you knew
love you more with every dawn
the love is you.
a little while longer
Byjucasso
stay on the earth plane
a little while longer
madrigal phantom
canyon hills gather beginnings
endings fill the filament
lament the will i met
ointment rub away sorrow
without you in tomorrow
unkempt medusa
rude enthusiasm sought the seeker
some truth a pot of lies
an artists proof an angel cries
see the parting of the ways
form a more perfect union
arrays of new ones
along the palisades-
bathe in a glade down streams
self consciousness gray the greens
pity how she bleeds
without that special someone-
wife Mother Earth
the stormy affair of her life’s work
stillness walk in silence
encourage benevolence
sayer in troubled southern skies-
through skirting issues
tissues and a cane
rebel cause the second came
doubtful discriminations
alter egos enflaming flames
fire burn bright yellow
flicker whiskey sours
past partaken
mistaken identity
there is a better you in me
someone I long to see
who has a thing for spring
purple pleasantries
swipe the card of plenty
tell me when you’re ready
to the tune of a medley
swoon the moon overwhelming
the tide rushes very
deep within the sea belly
beauty of a whale
may catch her tail
her little calves running
through wind tossed waves
strewn prawn
sea turtles seaweed jellyfish
storms to coast the calm
red flags reserve to warn
floods flash reservoirs
seasick senses surface
race to rocky shores
where seagulls swear and soar.
