Consider how the earth shines
\nat night, without reflections.
\nConsider the observers
\nthat have watched us through millennia,
\nthis butterfly of a planet
\nsuddenly alive.
\nEyes that struggle with the glitter of delight,
\ncalling others to the scope,
\nthe radiological mirror,
\nto explain the sudden luminescent threads,
\ntracing the oceans.<\/p>\n
What has happened on this little stone?
\nThe waves coming in the emptiness
\nof the ether.
\nThe twinkling in the deserts.
\nA new age of volcanic fire.
\nThe precursor of a giant conflagration.
\nThe end of a planetary jewel.
\nA malady of geological change.<\/p>\n
Or as one of the distant viewer senses,
\nis this the appearance
\nof the impossible soul?
\nThe opening again
\nof the miraculous wing,
\nanother song coming from the silence?
\nAnd will it last beyond a moment,
\nor as so many others have done,
\nwink out one night,
\nnever to recur?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
