A poem for today
Song in space
When man first flew beyond the sky
He looked back into the world’s blue eye.Man said: what makes your eye so blue?
Earth said: The tears in the ocean do.Why are the seas so full of tears?
Because I’ve wept so many thousand years.Why do you weep as you dance through space?
Because I am the mother of the human race.Adrian Mitchell 1932-2008
From love songs of world war three(1988)
