The Earth Opens Like a Book
By supernova
The Earth opens like a book,
each page a new flavour.
A new spice,
a new sour,
a new sweet.
Each page a peeping-hole
into a life I’ll never know.
I’ll read it from afar,
perhaps it’ll scar,
but I’ll never
feel it’s weight.
A new word I’ll see,
a word which meant a
million to thee.
But to me,
a simple word.
Perhaps I’ll
search the earth
to make it link,
find new ways to
make me think,
about the meaning
of this word,
but all I’ll find is
a definition of a
Hummingbird.
The Earth opens like
a mystery book;
you’ll never know
what you’ll find.
A pearl that once shone,
was now found and
stood so profound.
Children that whined,
people that spellbound,
and places that define,
who we truly are.
