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.
