From The Kitchen Table

 
 

What would I tell someone of our Earth?
Of ancient cultures who left dazzling architectural wonders in their wake?
How to describe yellow?
Or violet?
Magenta?
Orange thistles?
Drooping petals?
Iridescent glass?

That grand oaks
Grow from dainty acorns?

Smell
Taste
Touch
--Senses
Glorious senses

How could they ever comprehend this tremendous marvel
that is
Earth
Precious world
Sacred home
