The earth is one big picture…

The earth is one big picture…
A warm and compassionate picture…
Mostly lovable…
Difficult to those who do not respect Her

So, be like me and accept the distant views…
Step inside the landscapes…
Run on the elevated plains…
Dive into the meadows filled with flowers.

The earth’s picture is stark and soft at the same time…
It pulls my heart into pieces then puts it back together again…
Oh, look at the sunset…
The magician is using Her wand once again.

Yet, outside this picture is the hissing of brakes…
Piles of rusty bolts…
Quicksands for the unweary…
Everything and everyone stressed.

Instead, you can step inside into earth’s picture…
Stop chasing your tail (if you have one…)
Cease the endless pursuit of riches and glory…
Secret…The treasure is buried in your own backyard.

I love you,

Annie
