the sun comes up
and then goes down
as Earth keeps spinning round and round
first leaning back then leaning forwards
for a moment it's balanced towards
the sun up high above dividing
north from south by imagined lines in
the minds of those who map
and those on Earth in Nature's lap
you and me and all the others
all the fathers and the mothers
all our sisters, uncles, aunts
our brothers too now have a chance
to wake again on springtime's morning
to read the signs and heed the warning
we are in the arms of One
mother/father, Earth and Sun
