I saw the earth as a moon-like globe
Outside my window, shower window.
No gla** impaired my sight this night
As a vision pulled my ear, "Come out here."
All the atmosphere had shattered
And fell in fragments like dark gla** from the sky.
No one can say, none can detail
Where droplets splashed and shards rushed maddened. Everything was a shade of blue,
Round and grand and blue,
So close, I had to check what planet I was on.
How radiant the sphere appeared!
Glowing water waved a mirror.
Long points of white turned the earth with sparkling hums. The continents seemed a little fuzzy
As they throbbed in their green pattern.
I stretched my arms to their expanse,
So round, so bold,
So feeling and yet small.
Through this night I could fly
Past all wintery fences high,
Alone for miles around. Am I too far above ground?
The motion pulled, so where's too far?
