The Earth

There is no muse more inspiring to the human spirit than the planet we all live on.

The earth
Adorns herself alternately
Her thick foliage of green and
capricious ebb and flow of blue.

Each shard of the sun
Weaves her a garment for
her curves of mountains and gorges,
Like a layer of dense air.

I start unwrapping her layers of drapery.
They are plaits of soiled bedsheets
Branching out from her midriff like
Tributaries of a river
Near its delta.

She hides herself
In different layers of meaning
Through its mantles
Like an epic revolving around
A rainbow-like narrative axis.
