Earth


With heavy eyelashes she looks up

Bright blue sky, the one she crazily loves

Then as the focus drops out

She falls on the ground with a thrust

On the ground she scales herself

From south to the North Pole

Running from sand beach to the hill

Destroying and creating the totem poles.

But far away at the horizon

She meets the man of her dreams

He looks at her and she looks at him

With heavy eyelashes she looks up again

The dream shatters and the heart aches with pain

She is shocked; sky is still above her head

But as the tear rolls down on her cheek

Sky pours the relief stream

She smiles and looks at him

“Our love is eternal” he sings.
