This is a poem I wrote for Earth Day, April 22, 2021

The Color of Love

That light
shining through the darkness
is Earth
in its true color of love
entangled with desire and frenzy
and a fire that feeds struggle
between life and destruction
and rebirth again
in a gravity of wholeness
that comes forth
from the ocean depths
and the billowing air of blue
breathing passion into life
and a love that once
was only oblivion.
