Ordinary verses Extraordinary ????
Life on earth for me
is anything but ordinary.
Where else can you see
A splendid towering tree,
Or a bird fly high above the hills
Without an engine made in mills?
Where else can you see
Life like this
In the endless universal abyss
Of countless stars, dry planets like mars
Where lovers kiss
And oceans list
Toward the shore.
Where else is life shiny to it’s very
core.
No where but here, dear.
On this extraordinary planet
Of ordinary Safire, rock and granite.
