LAST night you panicked
about the tsunami news
that is real
you have seen the video on the news
at BBC
THIS thing does not
shake me
i have trust on the earth
where we live
daily
The earth will always be a big thing
and we are its miniatures
My body is like the earth
and the Earth is my body
Thus when the earth shakes
it is because it is feverish
on a certain infection
its sea must have been polluted
with nuclear waste
Thus when the earth moves its belly
and creates the tsunami
it is because
it is bathing
to cleanse itself
from accumulated dirt
and other extraneous
destructive matters
Or it is only
doing this on a routinized
basis
self-checking and
counter-checking
its Own State of Affairs
The EARTH
has a mind and body of
its own
It heals itself too
Every moment
in Every movement
The Law of Nature
Removes what destroys Itself
It vomits what poisons It
It excludes what pains it
It expels what it does not
Need
That is basic
Everything happens
because it is Good
Last night
You wrap your whole body
with that thick blanket
You hardly had a
good breathing
I know
You never really had that
nice sleep
that I am always enjoying
You bet
Now wake up early
Open the Windows of your House
Witness the unfolding of Light before your very eyes
How nature dresses and undresses itself
INTO such a beauty
Charming and magical
Its poise
The way how light bends and
Walks the isles
and Leaves and Fades
and Comes back again
IN another set of hues
and freshness of its
air
her hairs caressing
all of us
here
The rising sun
the glamorous sea
The white dots of seagulls dotting the sky blue sea
The boats afloat
and the children jumping for their
usual dives and baths
On a little ponderous moment like this
Feel the love that this Earth has given us for free
Daily
Because after it has cleansed itself
It becomes another scented Lady
or Mother or Lover
or Friend
Ready to embrace you Again
To show how lovely you too has become
This
In all Mutuality.
