"Financial success is a by-product of a well-lived and well-expressed life."

The Nature of the Earth

A Poem by Kasey Claytor


The nature of the Earth

Is the nature of us

On the great body of the earth

We are its cells

Forever locked in a chain

Of interaction

Of which we sometimes

forget.

For in all our actions

The earth reacts

Just as we react

To the earthbody’s

condition

Our minds in mass

create the infections

Of war upon our planet

Out picturing our inner

problems, so then we

can see what we

have to solve

The earth holds our

feelings

And teaches us about them

And we’re shown what we know

and don’t know
