My
first kiss is to Mother Earth
For
carrying me and my mother
Who
carried me for ten long
Grueling
months in her womb
Kiss!
Reverence! Pranam! Prostrations!
Earth
aptly called mother
For
patiently carrying me, my mom
All
brethren and sisters and fellow beings
Flora
and fauna, the seething oceans
All
that in nature with much patience
Earth!
your journey is so grand
High
beyond Himalayas, skies
Into
the sprawling heavens
You
kind enough carry me in my journey
smaller
than the atom in comparison
Your
billions of years versus less than
A
Billion year of mine in life time
All
the more reason to kiss
In
reverence, prostrate in obeisance
Day
after day till I exist and travel on you
The
only planet to inhabit living beings
As
far as science knows, as far as I know
It’s
my blessing to be here thanks
My
blue marble, revered I remain
Sing
your praise, kiss with reverence, salute!
