Monsterworks - Earth

We have come so far, why not a little farther?
Gaiascope dreaming, oasis in the void
Grandeur sacred, sufficient on its own
Maternal vale, no need for revelation

Consider this, the probability
The uniqueness, how precious?
We were blessed with an age of calm
for man to evolve and grip a firm handhold

What we see, a perfect circle
In overview, most striking
Blue marble parallel
Delicate yet robust
to support the most beautiful....accident!

We have come so far, why not a little farther?
Is that the least we deserve?

It was not faith that built the stars
It was not faith that forged the Earth
It was the laws of the Universe

Alone in the cold emptiness
Keeping us warm in the darkness
Embrace life with open eyes
To see that narrow arc of light
Showing our Earth, clearly fragile
Empires will fall, one and all
Returned....home

From fire and air to Earth
A small ball of rock and iron
It is ours for care or destruction until its demise
The afternoon in the garden
where I would contemplate such things
To the evening that became the dawn
and made a new day
(for) There may be only one
